Common Sense Designs: Weighted Products for Sensory Kids Providing custom designed products for Sensory Kids. [email protected] In the fall of 2009, my son was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder.

His diagnosis was a long time coming, and rather than taking it as a blow, we took it as a step forward in knowing our adversary. My son is a sensory seeker who struggled with motor planning/mild dispraxia, visual, auditory, and tactile hypersensitivity, and proprioceptive hyposensitivity. He received intensive services from an amazing Occupational Therapist at the Easter Seals Capper Foundation i

n Topeka, KS who introducted to me the concept of weighted blankets and products. After searching extensively for weighted blankets and toys, I was met with the harsh reality that the blankets for sale were far beyond my budget. I simply couldn't justify spending hundreds of dollars on a blanket my son would outgrow in short order, so we decided to make it ourselves at significantly lower cost and customize it to his specific needs. This aha! moment was in fact the birth of our design team and overall vision. Our design team consists of three primary individuals. Maria, in charge of concepts and design creates designs with consideration for the specific and widely varied needs of Sensory Kids. As a Sensory Mom, I've had extensive experience in determining what works and what doesn't. Caden is our product tester. He helps us determine efficacy of our designs simply by virtue of who he is. Our products are designed to survive his rough and tumble nature while maintaining safety, affordability, and theraputic applicability. Ardie is the heart, soul, and lifeblood of our team. With decades of experience as a professional tailor in addition to many years working with developmentally disabled persons both personally and professionally, Ardie's well rounded experience is absolutely invaluable. Our goal as a whole is to provide exceptionally sensory products tailored to meet the needs of an individual at a "Common Sense" price.

This blanket was so cool our little guy wanted to keep it for his very own! After he thought about it, though, he decided he had two weighted blankets of his own already, so it was OK for the young man we made this blanket for to have it.

Thank you to everyone who supported our business this year. Our family wishes yours a blessed holiday season!

Shh! Santa's elves are weighing and measuring and stitching away-not on dollies but weighted blankets for Christmas day!

Agent P is ready for his next assignment... This 1.5 pound lap pad is a cool way of adapting to the stresses of classroom life for a sensory seeker. The pattern will be sure to be a hit with all the students, while the raised paint outlining Perry give the user some much needed tactile input. Flannel backing makes the lap pad soft to the touch but keeps it from slipping off so easily.

What's inside is truly crucial. Our polypropylene pellets are hypoallergenic, machine washable, dryer safe, and don't hold extra heat in like some weighting materials. This makes our products perfect for year round use and ensures the products we make can stand up to the rigors of those they were designed to support.
