Weighted Blankets Coming Soon!

Do you have a child or family member that has a Sensory Processing Disorder?  Autism?  Then I am sure you have heard of weighted blankets.  They are an incredible tool to have for those hard moments.  My youngest child N has Autism.  Taking N to restaurants or public places can be very overwhelming for him.  The lights, the sounds, the smells, the pressure of sitting on his behind for so long, etc.  It was almost to the point where we couldn't take him out to eat with us anymore.  It was just too much for all of us.  It was at that point when my other son's BI (educator) asked if I had ever tried using a weighted blanket.  Curiosity piqued I researched them.  Made one.  Our life has been MUCH better ever since.  Now when we go out to eat the "Heavy Blankie" and Ipad comes along with us.  He has something to focus on and he gets the deep pressure stimulation to help him cope with all of his sensory bells ringing.

I am going to start selling these in my Etsy shop for a reasonable price.  I want all parents to feel the relief that we did at being able to help calm their loved one.  It has made a huge difference in our life.  N never slept well before.  He was up ALL night screaming, wandering and basically preventing us from sleeping.  Now he covers up with his "Heavy Blankie", takes his "Nigh Nigh Vitamin" and he is off to slumberland.  He has made huge progress both physically and emotionally.  I'm not going to say this is a cure all or that it was directly related to the above or that it will even help your loved one.  I will say that life after a weighted blanket has been SO MUCH HAPPIER!

My blanket has a visually stimulating cover with a soft minky back for all of those touch sensory lovers.  Unlike many weighted blankets, mine are machine washable on the gentle cycle.  No bleach please!  When you contact me, we will go over your loved one's weight, their theme and colors that they love.
