The Snow Leopard weighted lap cushion weighs 3kg and has several uses in the home, clinical, school and work environments. It can be useful for those with Sensory Processing Disorder, Autism, ADHD, ADD, Anxiety, Restless Leg Syndrome and some mental health issues. It provides Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS) and can be helpful to assist the user in managing and regulating sensory input.
Deep Pressure Touch Stimulation (DPTS) can stimulate the release of serotonin in the brain, in turn helping children and adults to be calm, relaxed, concentrate on a task and moderate their sensory input. Weighted Lap Cushions may also be used as part of a ‘Sensory Diet’ as prescribed by an Occupational Therapist at times for the child to self-regulate their sensory input if they are over stimulated and need to calm down before attempting a task which requires focus.
This lap cushion is made from a soft, strokable material with a snow leopard print. This provides additional tactile and sensory input for the user. It is filled with plastic micro beads, which allows the lap cushion to be moulded around the shape of the user’s body to maximise the deep pressure sensory input.
Measures 35cm in diameter and weighs 3kg.
