Hello, Teri,
I teach a special education preschool population, and on occasion, there are children who use/prefer weighted blankets for rest time. I have purchased them through Abilitations on the School Specialty website. I usually discuss the use of the blankets with families first, if I am introducing it during nap. Sometimes, parents bring from home. I don't recommend that every child use a weighted blanket, as some may find it uncomfortable.
Hope this helps!
Debbie

I'm looking for feedback on the use of weighted blankets at rest time.
Do any programs do this?
Is this something the program discusses with families?
What vendors do you use to purchase weighted blankets if you are using them?
Thank you!
Teri
