Weighted Tools to Help Anxious Students

My Project

I have a wonderful class this year, but many of them have some anxiety and stress issues. The goal of this project is to provide some tools to help them use weighted pads and toys to apply pressure and help reduce stress. We've found this to be a useful way to help kids, or adults, to feel less anxiety. I have found a weighted blanket to be especially helpful for my own daughter's stress, ADHD, and other atypical issues. I'm hoping that these tools will be of great benefit to my students. Thanks for your donations.
