Individuals with ADHD may experience trouble focusing on school work or detail-oriented tasks, easily forget or lose their belongings, behave impulsively, take unnecessary risks, and sometimes struggle to get along with their peers.
ADHD is also aggravated by sensory overload. People with ADHD are unable to process the plethora of stimuli they encounter every day, and react with inappropriate responses. The calming effects of DTP help calm the nervous system, making weighted blankets a popular resource for ADHD management.
People with ADHD often find it helpful to wrap up in a weighted blanket when transitioning from times of physical activity to quiet work. Using a weighted blanket about 20 minutes before homework time or bedtime can greatly help individuals with ADHD make the transition more easily.
