Weighted Sensory Calming Blankets – for Children or PetsABOUT WEIGHTED ITEMS
Hand made by a veteran seamstress; mother of an Autistic child and dogs.
Weighted blankets use deep pressure touch simulation (DPTS) to relax the body and make a person feel safe, guarded and secure; which calms their unease and helps their body rest.
The weight of the blanket stimulates the receptors on one’s body which then activates the neurotransmitters in the brain to bring a sense of happiness and security. This is also true of other critters, such as dogs.
A weighted blanket is a great sensory aid to have around in any situation. Whether your child / dog has a hard time calming down at bedtime or just get stressed in the car; these are instrumental in making them feel more secure and calm. This is also true for dogs. The pressure emulates a embrace, which calms them.
This Assistive Technology is useful in treating a number of ailment including (but not limited to) Autism, Restless Leg Syndrome, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety and various sleep disorders.
