Why a Weighted Animal?
In an era marked by increasing sensory overload, weighted animals have emerged as a soothing remedy for many individuals, particularly children and adults dealing with sensory processing disorders, autism, and anxiety. These cuddly companions transcend mere playthings; they serve as therapeutic aids crafted to offer solace and assistance. By capitalising on the principles of deep pressure therapy, weighted animals facilitate a profound sense of calm and relaxation, which can be especially beneficial for those grappling with sensory processing challenges.
