Nowadays, school life is increasingly busy, increasingly stimulating, and for many children with deficits in sensory processing increasingly overwhelming! My special students can often feel disorganized in their own minds and bodies and have a difficult time sitting and attending to their teacher the way other students do.
My students want to sit and behave the way they see other students do, but they just can't seem to manage this on their own.
It is my experience that when provided with the coming sensory input of something weighted on their lap they are able to sit and attend. They are provided with an means of feeling more put together and in control of their bodies.
I know my students will be thrilled with their new weighted animals, seat cushions, and fidgets. Feeling calm and comfortable in their own bodies is something every child deserves!!
