Weighted Lap Pad

Much like a weighted blanket, but on a smaller scale, a weighted lap pad, or weighted lap blanket, is a sensory tool that offers proprioceptive or deep touch pressure to a person’s legs as it rests on their lap when in a seated position.

Weighted lap pads are particularly helpful for people with a sensory processing disorder, attentional difficulties, and autism because proprioceptive input has a calming, grounding effect.
