hyperactivity, etc. Due to their compact size, Lap Pads in particular,

at the dinner table, etc., to help calm and focus.

It is NOT all about weight, the fabric pattern makes a difference as
well. If the person using the lap pad likes the pattern used it helps
ease anxiety also. For example, my adult son with severe autism is 6'2
and weighs 240LBS. He LOVES Lady and the Tramp..!!:) He has a 12" x 18"
Lady and the Tramp lap pad that weighs only 1 1/2 LBS and he LOVES it on
his lap. The weight isn't really heavy for him but the pattern makes up
the difference. If you need a pattern you do not see in the store please let me know , I will try and find it for you.
