Sensory Compression Blanket Sensory Bed Sheet for Kids - Help Kids Ages 5+ Settle Down at Nighttime - Comfortable Sleeping Bedding (Double)

Product Information

I have always been inspired to work with neurodiverse kids. As a young adult, I taught adapted swimming lessons and volunteered with the special olympics before attending University. I went to McGill University for a Bachelor's in Rehabilitation Science and then a Master's in Occupational Therapy. Through extensive additional training in various areas, I have developed my own style prioritizing connecting with the child and family, building emotional regulation skills, empowering the families to have the tools when they are no longer my clients and growing the skills that are missing to achieve their goal.

It’s so easy for a toddler to fall off the bed. But if you don’t want them to fall off, you can instead buy a snugbug compression sheet. Hence, you know that your child is secure even when you are away. Try playing different games with the compression sheet. Hide and seek; push items through like a tunnel; etc. Deep Touch Pressure The compression sheet specifically provides proprioceptive input - deep pressure as well as tactile input, which is also known as Deep Touch Pressure (DTP). This type of sensory input has been shown to provide a calming effect for various individuals and situations. Other types of SBI have been less well studied. Losinski et al. [ 4] concluded that Wilbarger brushing had no effect. A previous systematic review of the Wilbarger brushing studies [ 11] found four studies (only one of which is reviewed by Losinski et al. [ 4]) from which they concluded that “emerging evidence from these studies warrants future robust research on this topic.” Similarly, Yunus et al. [ 9] concluded that tactile based therapies (such as massage or brushing) offered level 1 evidence of efficacy in managing behaviour problems. Additionally, these compression sheets are thinner and don’t have that extra weight that weighted blankets provide. The benefit of these blankets 1. Easy to spreadMaybe you are someone who feels like they have tried everything under the sun to help relieve your stress or even your child’s stress, and nothing is working out, or maybe you are just embarking on your journey to fixing this problem. Maybe it is so bad that it is having a negative impact on your sleep every night. In this case, compression sheets or blankets are an absolute must-try! Now you and the whole family can receive the deep touch therapy you never knew you needed while spending time together watching your favorite show, playing your favorite game, or doing whatever nightly activity you enjoy most. Not to mention: it's great for sleeping. If you are experiencing feelings of stress and anxiety, know that you are certainly not alone. There are many people every day that feel overwhelmed to the point that it can affect their sleep at night. There are a number of things you can do to try and relieve these feelings and improve your quality of life. A sensory compression sheet is just one of those things. A sensory compression sheet is a lightweight and breathable sheet that wraps completely around your bed. This stretchy sheet is made to apply compression to your entire body while you sleep. This compression can relieve some of the feelings of stress and anxiety, bringing you the comfort of being “hugged” all night long.

If you notice that your child keeps waking up at night, you can solve this problem using a compression sheet. Reviewers and users often say that compression sheets induce sleep within a few minutes. 6. Easy to wash McGinnis et al. [ 13] offer a different perspective on sensory-based interventions. Three children with ASD aged between 2 and 7 years who were receiving ABA therapy in a private clinic were allowed to choose objects (blanket, gym mat, and pillow) which could be used to provide deep pressure. The experimental phase required the young people to choose whether to have free play or deep pressure. Two of the children showed a clear preference for deep pressure over free play. The third's preferences were confounded by ill health during the experimental phase. The authors concluded that deep pressure was rewarding for the children. Unlike previous studies of SBI this study uses a contingent application of SBI dependent on requesting it. They had planned their study to investigate whether deep pressure could be rewarding, since they were concerned that the use of deep pressure to help individuals calm when distressed might inadvertently reward signs of distress. The compression sheet specifically provides proprioceptive input - deep pressure as well as tactile input, which is also known as Deep Touch Pressure (DTP). This type of sensory input has been shown to provide a calming effect for various individuals and situations. Proprioceptive input is one of the internal senses of the body. It is the sensation received by the muscles and tendons to determine where your body is in space. Proprioception is important in developing body awareness; for example knowing where all your body parts are when walking past a kitchen island so you don’t hit your hip on the corner. What are weighted blanketsBeing able to receive this type of relief while not changing your sleep environment too drastically can make it a seamless transition and happy compromise for you and your partner. The Importance of a Comfortable Home Environment This cozy blanket is not only portable because it is a blanket; it is also portable because you can wear it. Due to its compression and ability to open at the top and bottom, you or your child are able to pull it all the way up your body and roll it up your legs and walk around. It's the perfect balance of compression without feeling restricted. Some people are cautious when buying anything for their homes, especially when considering aesthetics. The good thing with the snugbug compression sheets is that they come in different colours. You can also choose from a variety of sizes depending on the size of your mattress and beds. 5. Keeps you asleep all night

Compression sheets are soft, machine washable, breathable, and made with sensory needs in mind. The perfect addition to bedtime, the compression sheet allows for movement without decreasing the input provided. JettProof sensory sheets slip over the mattress and are open ended, making it easy to remove for washing. Always make sure that the child can move independently in and out from the compression sheet. Tips For Incorporating The Compression Sheet to Your ChildOnce your child is comfortable with the sheet, start trialing it during the bedtime routine. “Let’s use your sheet while we read before bed.” Then talk about how it felt to use the sheet. “Did you feel calm or more silly when you were under the sheet?”
