Weighted Therapy in the Classroom: Benefits for Focus, Calm, and Behaviour
Weighted Therapy, also known as deep pressure therapy, uses Weighted Blankets, Vests, Lap Pads, and Shoulder Wraps to provide gentle, calming pressure to the body. This therapy is increasingly used in classrooms to support children, especially those with ADHD, sensory processing difficulties, or anxiety.
Key Benefits of Weighted Therapy in Schools
• Improves focus and attention - Weighted products help calm the nervous system, reduce hyperactivity, and support longer periods of concentration. Weighted Hug Vests are perfect for short, wearable sessions in the classroom.
• Reduces anxiety and stress - Lap pads, Neck Wraps, and Shoulder Wraps provide soothing deep pressure, helping children feel safe, calm, and ready to learn.
• Enhances body awareness - The added weight improves proprioception, helping children understand their body position in space and participate more confidently in physical activities.
• Promotes positive behaviour - Weighted Therapy can reduce disruptive or aggressive behaviour, creating a calmer, more supportive classroom environment.
Weighted Therapy products for classrooms, including Blankets, Lap Pads, Vests, and Shoulder Wraps, are a simple, effective way to help children feel secure, improve focus, and support emotional and sensory development.
