Weighted lap pads are an effective sensory resource. They can help sensory-seeking adults and children calm their body when in a seated position, such as at school, work, at the table or whilst travelling. The weight exerted by the lap pad can help individuals to feel more grounded, reduce fidgety behaviour and improve concentration. Weighted lap pads can be useful to those with sensory processing disorders, Autism and ADHD by providing calming sensory input. Weighted lap pads can be a useful addition to a sensory diet plan alongside chew tools and fidget aids
