Weighted Lap Blankets, Compression Vests & Sensory Socks
Every child on the spectrum experiences the world in a beautifully unique way. For many, sensory tools can be life-changing in helping them regulate their emotions, stay focused, and feel secure. At Blue Heart Spectrum Shop, we’ve seen firsthand how the right sensory support can transform everyday moments into opportunities for growth.
Here are three tools we love and trust:
1. Weighted Lap Blankets
These small but powerful blankets provide calming pressure that helps children relax during school, therapy, or downtime. Perfect for circle time, car rides, or bedtime routines, they can help ease anxiety and improve attention span.
2. Compression Vests
We recently started using a weighted compression vest with Neo—and the results have been amazing! He wears it during table time and structured activities, and we’ve noticed a real improvement in his focus and ability to stay calm. Best of all, he actually enjoys having it on. It’s become one of his favorite parts of his daily routine, giving him the proprioceptive input his body craves while helping him stay centered.
3. Sensory Body Socks
These full-body stretchy sacks are incredible for kids who seek deep pressure input and enjoy movement-based play. Children step inside and gently push against the resistant fabric, which helps with body awareness, coordination, and calming. Neo loves using his to wiggle, stretch, and even relax—it’s like a sensory hug that moves with him.
Every item we carry is thoughtfully chosen based on our own experience as a family. We don’t just sell these tools—we use them. And we understand how powerful they can be in helping a child feel more at ease in their world.
Stop by the shop or reach out if you’d like to learn more about which tools might be the best fit for your child. We’re here to help, every step of the way.
With love,
The Blue Heart Spectrum Family
