The player with the most chips when the game ends

BEAR HUG COMPRESSION VEST
The Bear Hug vest can be used to develop proprioceptive integration and for calming activities to help the oversensitive child decrease hyperresponsiveness. No weight is used – instead a deep pressure is applied to the body by the tight wrapping of the vest snugly next to the body. The vest does not shift as the child moves, which makes it comfortable to be worn under clothing if desired. The adjustable straps and body wrap allow the therapist or caretaker to
adjust the amount of pressure as desired. Each vest is made out of comfortable neoprene with loop-compatible outer skin. Children with proprioceptive and tactile integration dysfunction will benefit from the sensory feedback they receive when wearing the vest. The body wrap and straps utilize strong hook-and-loop closures. The Bear Hug consists of one adjustable body wrap and two adjustable shoulder straps and comes in four sizes. Cold water washable.
