OMG

My 4.5 year old (sensory seeker) son went from struggling to "he had a very good day" at daycare. I was dreading going to pick him up due to the negative feedback I was getting each day (he has behavior/hitting issues). Today, I sent the lap pad for the 1st time to daycare and also for the 1st time in 3 weeks that he has been at this new daycare I received positive feedback. The lap pad helped him remain sitted and calm during circle time. I don't know why this thing works but I'm glad I spent the $44 on this. It is soft and seems well constructed. I hope it lasts. I will buy a 2nd one to keep at home.

Amazing product for a 5 year old with severe ADHD

An absolute must if you have an ADHD five year old. This lap pad helps my child settle down. She also uses it while doing homework. I have six children and I am also a nurse. I highly recommend this product and have also mentioned Harkla products to my child’s physician.

Relaxes your body!

Pad came quickly and follow up from Harkla has been excellent. I like the pad for settling and calming stress. It is amazing that a little pad can help you feel more relaxed. I highly recommend weighted blankets and this is the perfect size to lay in your lap as an adult.

My daughter decided to try a lap blanket first to see if he liked it before spending on a full blanket

My 2 year old grandson is struggling with sensory issues and one of the things suggested was a weighted blanket to give him comfort. My daughter decided to try a lap blanket first to see if he liked it before spending on a full blanket. He LOVES it! As soon as he had it in his lap, he visibly relaxed and snuggled down. He likes to take it with him, which is another reason she decided to try that size first. They use it at bedtime right now and he is sleeping much better, and they plan to buy a full size blanket for him as well. Thank you for this fabulous product! It's colorful, the texture is very interesting for him to brush his hands over, and it's easy for traveling! I'm so very thankful there are quality products that actually work for children like my grandson that will help make his life happier! You have an outstanding product!

I can't wait to buy more. This is a must for my family!

My son uses this small blanket to self-sooth. I can say that this product has changed our home life, and also, we were able to go to a movie theater and enjoy it. Most of the time the movie theater is a trigger spot for my child's sensory issues, and it is hard for the hit to sit still. I used the blanket first, to show him how cool it could be. Kidding! The little blanket felt like a big hug, and I inwardly started saving to purchase another two. My son was able to relax after placing this on his legs. Shockingly, I felt that in six years, I had never observed him unwind. I took a deep breath of relief and vowed to recommend a weighted blanket to everyone. Life Changing!

Effective for adults, anxiety and somatic work

The lap pad was purchased for my professional work as a psychotherapist. I work with those seeking relief from somatic concerns as well as trauma and anxiety. I introduced the lap pad to a few clients over the last week, asking for honest feedback. The clients who have used it have reported a subtle, yet noticeable reduction in anxiousness as well as an aid in gently allowing them to "be in their body" while we use therapeutic techniques designed for somatic awareness. My husband also struggles with anxiety and he placed the pad on his chest and reported feeling "secure, and safe". For adults it's important to note: the use of weight on the body for individuals who struggle with anxiety and somatic disassociation can be very helpful. There is a significant amount of research to affirm these statements. I recommend those working in high stress jobs or pregnant women use the pad as a natural means of calming anxiety.

Amazing product that is great for classroom interventions

I purchased this for one of my students that is autistic. He is a bright and beautiful boy that has been able to remain in the full inclusion setting. However, his ticks have recently become far more extreme. The nature of them has clued me into the need for more nervous system suppression type interventions. With his education being entirely in the general education setting, I needed something descrete that would not add to his distractibility but would rather allow him to sit with more calm and confidence during instruction. After just one day of this, his general education teacher and myself had seen a major difference. With a few prompts to its proper use, he has already shown a huge improvement. Thank you for making this product and your dedication to the special needs community.

I can't believe how well this works. Bought this for my 4 yr old granddaughter who was recently diagnosed with autism. Her doctor recommended a lap pad for her sensory issue and within 5 minutes of this on her lap, she actually laid over and went to sleep. The pad has helped her to calm down and really focus on the task at hand. Worked so well, my daughter actually order the blanket for her too. Highly recommend!

Works great for what I needed it for.

This works great for my home-schooled, 11-year old ADD son. When he has trouble staying in his seat and focusing, I lay this on his lap so he will stay in his seat and do his work. It doesn't work 100% of the time, but it's one of the methods that I use, and I'm grateful for it! I want to get a larger one for his bed!

I received the lap pad on Sunday and I couldn't be happier. My daughter has always had hard time staying seated and staying in her bed at night. If she's watching TV she is up bouncing around and if she's in bed by 8 or 9 she is up again by 10 or 11. Even though I have only been the weighted lap pad for a short time, I can see a big difference. She stays seated more if she has her lap pad and the last couple of nights she has decided to sleep with her lap pad and in-turn she has been staying in her bed all night.
