Weighted Lap/Neck Pad 2.2kg

Weighted lap/neck pads can be an amazing sensory tool to help improve your child’s attention, focus, or ability to calm themselves.  

The reason they can be such a powerful tool is that the weight of the pad can be really calming and organizing for some kids.  In particular, kids that seek out or respond to proprioceptive input are often good candidates for trying a weighted lap pad.  These kids are often described as wiggly, have difficulty sitting still, or wild.

This is a sensory tool that shouldn’t be used all day long, but for times that your child has difficulty sitting still, or simply wants to calm down and relax.  Since it lays across their lap, you’ll give it to them or place it on them for most seated activities. This can also be used to wrap around their shoulders or their neck.

Weighted lap pads are good for school, busy public settings, family outings, traveling and restaurants. They are much easier to cart around and are less noticeable at your child’s desk or in other public settings.  They are good for tactile defensiveness, proprioceptive input, and deep pressure for calming the nervous system. They can also improve your child’s body awareness and prevents sensory meltdowns, tantrums and aggression. For children who struggle to stay seated in class, are fearful of crowded places, can’t stay organized and have trouble sleeping, they can use weighted lap pads to regulate their mind and body.
