Weight and deep pressure can be highly beneficial to some children with autism, sensory integration disorders, ADHD and other neurological disorders. The added weight or pressure may help the child calm down and better integrate sensory information. As a result, the child may become more organized, and improve in their ability to concentrate on play, learning or eating. Since there are great differences in how each child responds to weight and pressure, it is very important to use these products with adult supervision and guidance of a therapist familiar with sensory integration.
