Weighted Sensory Products
Weighted sensory products are particularly helpful for those with autism, Sensory Processing Disorder and other learning difficulties as they provide deep touch pressure. This can help reduce anxiety and stress for many users and have a calming effect. Weighted sensory items create light pressure, so the products won’t be ‘heavy’; they’re designed to apply a comfortable weight that’s enough for the brain to register the item’s presence and comfort.
Benefits of Weighted Sensory Items
Each weighted sensory product can help in calming users or increase awareness. They can also help to reduce the impact of a meltdown or sensory overload.
- Sensory wristbands can be an effective way of bringing awareness to the hands, which can be essential in a classroom setting when writing and trying to focus.
- Weighted blankets are an effective night-time solution and help create a relaxing environment and the perfect conditions for a good night’s sleep.
- Sensory weighted lap pads can be used in any scenario that might involve a lot of sitting still, such as at school or in a religious service.
Weighted sensory items are the perfect addition to any sensory space, but you can take them anywhere they’re needed to help users prepare to face everyday situations that may be overwhelming or inspire anxiety outside of the home. This can include school or the office, hospital visits, social outings or any scenario that might be stressful or overwhelming.
