Weighted blankets aid in providing proprioceptive feedback while relaxing the body and central nervous system. Weight and deep pressure can be highly beneficial to some children with ASD, Sensory Integration Disorder, ADHD, and other neurological disorders. The added weight or pressure may help the child calm down and better integrate sensory information. As a result, the child may become more organized, and improve in their ability to concentrate on play, learning, or eating.

These blankets can be used as adaptive aids during learning times at school, quiet times at home, school, clinic, or office and to assist in falling asleep. People of all ages enjoy relaxing under these wonderful blankets.

How much weight do I need?
For children, most Occupational Therapists recommend starting with a weight that is generally 10% of your child's body weight. For an adult, starting with an 8 lb. blanket is recommended. For an elderly adult, a 5 lb. blanket is probably the heaviest they will want.

When is the best time to use it?
The blanket can be used throughout the day in many different ways. It can calm a person during the day as well as help him or her to relax and fall into a deeper, more restful sleep in the evening or during naptimes.
