    This review out of Cincinnati Children's is a great resources for the updated evidence on using weighted and compression tools in practice for proprioceptive input. This is especially useful if you are entering a pediatric rotation, as I get a lot of questions from speech and physical therapy clinicians and students about using these items in their sessions for children with sensory needs.
