Susan Orloff, OTR/L FAOTA loves our weighted blankets. Read this:

“Weighted blankets and toys are an essential tool in the “OT bag of Tricks” for therapy and for parents to use at home in a variety of situations: mealtime, quiet time, the blanket at bedtime… They are also excellent for classroom circle time and could be passed around so that the specific child needing the weighted input does not feel singled out. These weighted items are colorful, engaging and playful; everything a child needs to buy into using them regularly.”

Susan N.
