Does your child struggle to concentrate or sit still? Say goodbye to stress and anxiety with a Weighted Lap Pad Blanket!
Research has shown a weighted lap pad can increase concentration and performance at school, work, or home. It applies a gentle therapeutic pressure on the body - which provides a comforting 'grounded' feeling. This helps release tension and stress, allowing the person to focus on the task at hand. Occupational therapists have found the weighted lap pad to be especially useful for autism, ADHD, SPD and sensory conditions.
Our wipe clean weighted lap pad helps students focus, settle down and get ready to learn. Use when concentration is needed during circle time, solo reading, tests, homework or other quiet classroom activities. A versatile tool serving children of different abilities, ages and sizes.
- Provides proprioceptive feedback to help focus and self-regulate
- Supports children and adults with ADHD, sensory processing disorder or autism
The cotton weighted lap pad is made with breathable cotton filled with superior glass beads which keeps the lap pads thin, safe and fully machine washable.
