Weighted blankets are a great tool for helping your child to calm, improve body awareness, improve ability to stay seated at school, and improve attention. They can be used in a variety of environments and in a variety of ways. Try using them before long car rides, before bed, before heading to a stimulating environment, or just throughout the day when playing games, reading, or watching TV.
Weighted blankets can be ordered through a number of venues. One of our therapist's parents makes them and personalizes them for each child. The blankes are handmade, pre-washed, and pre-shrunk. All parts are washable! There are a variety of sizes available to order and you can help in choosing a fabric that your child would like. If you have questions or are interested in purchasing a blanket, ask your therapist or comment below!
