**PERSONAL EXPERIENCE**
My child was diagnosed with SPD(Sensory Process Disorder) and wouldn't sleep much... His therapist and doctor
recommended a weighted blanket. I was willing to do anything to help him. I went online to buy one and they run from $60 to $180
plus shipping and handling. I did a research online on how to make them and started making one. The first time I put one
on my son he stayed laying down for 30minutes which for us parents know this is impossible to see!! With a little time now,
I can say my son sleeps through the night and the sleeping has helped with his development. His SPD is causing a speech delay.
Now that my son sleeps well, he is saying basic word: mama, dad, his sisters names :) We (my mom & I) have made some for some kids
with autism already!
