Like weighted vests and body socks MyBurrow® may also be used to assist with behavioural issues. However, in contrast, it has a variety of unique characteristics. These characteristics assist with its flexibility of use in a variety of environments.

Unlike weighted vests, traditional lycra tunnels and body socks;

• MyBurrow® is designed to be non restrictive, as students can initiate and control their use and involvement.
• The pressure panel tension is adjustable and hence may be varied to meet the child’s sensory needs.
• MyBurrow® is highly flexible in that it may be used with a variety of children at the same time, without losing time that is associated with swapping and sharing vests.
• MyBurrow® allows for continuous sensory stimulation throughout an activity. Its fixed positioning ensures ease of accessibility and safety in most classroom and home environments. The need to put on and take off a vest or hold a lycra tunnel or a body sock during an activity has the potential to be a significant distractor.
• When children are working with MyBurrow® they remain in a defined locality within the room or clinic, hence reducing the possible impact of environmental distractions.
