At Experia, our sensory weighted lap pads are designed to provide necessary sensory stimulation for those who need it, allowing them to concentrate more effectively or ground themselves. We recommend using sensory lap pads intermittently for around 20 minutes or so before taking a break, as this will avoid your body becoming used to the weight (which could reduce its efficacy).
Who Uses Sensory Lap Pads?
Lap pads for autism, ADHD and other sensory processing disorders can be calming and grounding. They can be used by anyone regardless of age or ability, so long as they have the ability to remove the lap pad themselves – they are not a good idea for babies or young toddlers.
Why Use Sensory Weighted Lap Pads?
The great thing about a lap pad is that it is portable and can be used anywhere to minimise anxiety and fidgeting. They might be used in the classroom or office, or at the hairdresser, dentist, doctor, or even the cinema!
Benefits of Sensory Lap Pads
We’ve mentioned some of the benefits of sensory weighted lap pads already, including their soothing and grounding properties. Lap pads provide users with deep pressure therapy, similarly to weighted blankets or weighted vests. This encourages dopamine production and helps develop proprioception, and can help a user to feel calmer and more relaxed. Sensory lap pads can also reduce the effects of overstimulation.
If you would like to purchase a sensory weighted lap pad for yourself or someone else, or to use in a communal space, please browse our range or get in touch with our friendly, expert team for more information.
