Weighted blankets and weighted stuffed animals allow my students to feel more grounded in their own bodies, provide comfort during anxious or stressful times and provide the pressure and sensory input that they constantly seek throughout the day. Self-Regulation of emotions is an everyday part of our curriculum. We help the students to understand their emotions, express them appropriately and learn to cope during difficult times. Having weighted blankets and weighted stuffed animals allows the students to feel calm and can help to decrease the length emotional and behavior episodes while allowing the students to feel safe and secure within themselves.
