What Does a Weighted Pad Do?

Individuals with autism and other similar conditions often feel a sense of restlessness and irritation. Evidence suggests that this is often alleviated or lessened when a gentle brand of compression is applied to one area of the body.

Blankets that are weighted are a great way of inducing a sense of calm in the individual, lowering their heart rate and allowing them to sit in one position whilst the moment passes. Great for children and adults alike who experience meltdowns as a result of their autism or ADHD, a weighted blanket is a great way to induce a sense of safety and security when the individual feels restless, anxious and out of control.

​How Does Gentle Compression Help?

  • Promote a calming effect in moments where the individual is overwhelmed
  • Encourage relaxation by applying gentle weight to the legs
  • Relieve anxiety and stress when a meltdown occurs
  • Ease transitions between home and school
  • Prevents meltdowns and repetitive behaviours

Wipe Down Design for Easy Cleaning

In the event of an accident or if the Weighted Lap Pad is used at the dinner table, you can quickly and easily wipe it clean to remove stains and residue. Unlike other options on the market, the Sensory Direct Lap Pad will not leave discolouration marks when wiped down.
