Home Made Weighted Blankets
There are also other ideas like using ankle weight and wriste weights. When sitting in the car you can use pillow weights and at home you can use bean bags and just apply pressure.
Kids that usually need this kind of stimulation are the ones that like to swing, or bite on things, spin, or jump on beds. They do these things for pressure to desensitize themselves or to feel centered. It is not something you use all day. It is something you use to help calm or help center them for something that is hard for them to focus on.
If you have any questions contact NHAC at 320.223.3404

Another way of getting a weighted Blanket
Contact your case worker (if you don't have one get one!) and ask about a family grant purchase. This is if you want to buy one and don't really have the money to spare.
