**PERSONAL EXPERIENCE**
My child was diagnosed with SPD(Sensory Process Disorder) and wouldn't sleep much... His therapist and doctor recommended a weighted blanket. I was willing to do anything to help him. I went online to buy one and they run from $60 to $180 plus shipping and handling. I did a research online on how to make them and started making one. The first time I put one on my son he stayed laying down for 30minutes which for us parents
know this is impossible to see!! With a little time now, I can say my son
sleeps through the night and the sleeping has helped with his development. His
SPD is causing a speech delay. Now that my son sleeps well, he is saying
basic word: mama, dad, his sisters names :) We (my mom & I) have made some
for some kids with autism already!
The basic $40 weighted blanket is:
- 1 yd. long with your child's favorite color
or favorite cartoon character
- will weigh 3lbs.
- can wash like any
blanket
- Air dry
(you more than welcome to stop by and try to put one on
you or child)
