R82 Vests and Belts We offer a wide range of vests and belts, all with the purpose of supporting the body, allowing the child to maintain the best position and feel secure and safe in an assistive device. Vests and belts increase comfort, safety and ensure correct positioning. Facilitating Independence Vests and belts can be the key to a product solution for a child by allowing them to gain control of their posture and become more independent in functions like communication, eating or using their hands fully. The use of vests and belts should be considered in the planning of a product solution for every child along with the product configuration possibilities and other types of accessories. Children respond individually to different types of support, pressure, surfaces and textures, allowing or restraining their movements. Therefore, it is important to make a thorough examination of the child, the existing product solution and to test different vests and belts in combination with other accessories, before choosing one solution over another.
