Promotes Sensory Integration
Ideal for children and adults with Autism, brain injuries, learning disorders, and other developmental disabilities, the Weighted Washable Dolphin Wrap provides gentle, deep pressure input to the neck and shoulder area. Weighted wraps are commonly prescribed by occupational therapists for proprioceptive input, which helps balance the central nervous system. When the central nervous system is balanced, the neck wrap wearer is better able to interpret their senses.
Portable Therapeutic Tool
Because of its small size, compared to a weighted blanket, the sensory integrating wrap makes a great portable therapeutic tool that can be taken on car trips, to doctors appointments, school, etc... The Dolphin Wrap can also be placed in the lap when needed while still providing deep pressure therapy.
Soothes Tension and Worry
Those with Sensory Processing Disorders often feel overwhelmed because there is a breakdown in the way their body interprets incoming sensory stimuli. Self abuse, restlessness, lack of focus, aggressiveness, and difficulty transitioning from one activity to another are common warning signs that the senses are not integrating properly. Deep pressure therapy can be applied to the neck and shoulder area with the Dolphin Wrap to promote calmness, resulting in lower incidences of meltdowns caused by the senses being overwhelmed.
Wraps Comfortably Around Shoulders and Neck
Some children feel constrained by weighted blankets and vests. The Dolphin Wrap still provides the benefits of deep pressure therapy by wrapping just around the shoulders and neck area. Made with soft fleece on the top part of the dolphin and comfortable flannel on the bottom part, those with Sensory Processing Disorders also benefit from the tactile stimulation provided.
Filled with Non-Toxic Poly-Pellets
Filled with non-toxic poly-pellets, the Weighted Washable Dolphin Wrap places 3 lbs. of weight around the shoulder and neck area. Because the weighted stuffing material has a flexible quality, it shapes to conform to the shoulder and neck area while still maintaining a uniform fill.
Great for Focus, Relaxing or Play
Whether used in school, during nap time, or while running around with friends on the playground, the Dolphin Wrap keeps the wearer's senses organized. When the senses are organized, socialization is easier. Used proactively, the Dolphin Wrap provides a non-invasive and successful therapeutic intervention that soothes an over-aroused nervous system.
Weighted Washable Dolphin Wrap Care:
Hand wash on the gentle cycle and line dry.
