WHAT IS A WEIGHTED LAP PAD FOR CHILDREN/ADULT?

Similar to a weighted blanket, but smaller, a weighted lap pad is a sensory tool that applies gentle, therapeutic deep touch on the legs of a child, whilst in a seated position.

Often used to help children calm down and focus better, weighted lap pads usually resemble a small padded blanket or pillow, filled with a weighted element – most commonly small beads or plastic pellets.

As well as a ‘standard’ weighted lap pad, you can also get weighted lap pads with fidgets (for extra tactile exploration) or even a weighted lap buddy, a kind of weighted soft toy for younger children.

Does your child struggle to sit still at mealtimes or focus at school?

Weighted lap pads for kids are an increasingly popular sensory aid that help many children calm down and focus better, both at home and in the classroom.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A WEIGHTED LAP PAD?

Many kids with autism, attention deficit and sensory processing disorders struggle with body awareness and find it hard to sense the position and movement of their body in relation to their surroundings (often termed proprioception). You may recognise this in your child as clumsiness, self stimulating behaviours such as rocking or fidgeting or an intense need for lots of running, jumping or rough play.

Specifically, weighted lap pads may help children to:

~ Self regulate and calm down

~ Focus better

~ Stay seated longer

~ Transition more smoothly between activities or tasks

Weighted lap pads are not usually recommended for children under the age of 3, plus a child should always be able to move a lap pad off their legs unaided. If unsure, always consult an occupational therapist or doctor.
