Kaitlin Alvey MS,OTR/L, TheraTree Clinical Manager and Occupational Therapist, leads this hybrid in-person and virtual workshop.

Deadline to register: Thursday, April 15th, 2021

If you are making the blanket for someone specific you will need to know their weight as weighted blankets need to be 5 - 10% of the person weight.

Virtual attendees will be responsible for obtaining their own supplies (see below).

In-Person attendees will need to follow our clinic's COVID procedures. Supplies for in-person attendees will be provided. Extra sewing machines are needed if you have one.

A weighted blanket is similar to a regular blanket, but has small weighted material inside it. The blanket is a little heavy and applies a firm consistent pressure to the body that is underneath of it. Weighted blankets come in all sorts of sizes and textures.

Weighted blankets provide proprioceptive and tactile input. This input provides an organizing effect to the central nervous system and stimulate the release of neurotransmitters. This can be very calming and relaxing in general. It’s also why weighted blankets can also be used to relax at any time, not just for sleep.

Virtual Supply List:

  • Material for the outer blanket such as lightweight fleece or close weave polycotton such as bedding (duvets are great for this project).
  • Sewing machine (not a mini sewing machine)
  • Basic sewing kit, including scissors, pins and thread. The thread will show on your blanket on the stitching you use to create the pockets which distribute the weight evenly through your blanket so choose a colour that matches or contrasts your material colour
  • Aquarium Gravel or Plastic pellets to create the weight for your blanket. These are recommended for blankets and can be washed if needed.
  • Simple food scale for measuring weight.

Signs Your Child May Respond to a Weighted Blanket:

  • Loves sleeping or laying under piles of blankets or heavy comforters.
  • Enjoys crawling into tight spaces or behind furniture
  • Has difficulty (even after a lot of physical activity) relaxing and sitting still
  • Likes wearing heavy sweatshirts and sweaters

Diagnoses and Symptoms:

  • Autism
  • Sensory Processing Disorder
  • • ADD/ADHD
  • Anxiety
  • Sleep difficulties

This is the most popular class.

This is our story... Mom & Son team.. We have been working with ADD & ADHD & Tourettes since Adrian was diagnosed at 4 years old. Just like any concern: nervousness, weight, learning disabilities - you learn how to improve and work with it. I believe my son was never broken, or needed fixing, I believe we both needed to embrace this and be better. This is my class, how I use science, research and essential oils, scents, to help my son but more importantly to help me, the mother, support, caregiver, and most of, person. I will show you

Only in Downtown Brampton can you experience this!

We are building our network so please share us on Instagram. Twitter & Facebook.

University and Symptoms of Attention Deficit

Dear Readers, University was the hardest of places because of my symptoms of attention deficit. One item in particular, is the hyperactive attention deficit.

This translates into continually identifying new and interesting sources of upwards variation within university opportunities. However, it limited the depth of any particular venture.

I compensated for this, by pursuing studies and knowledge in depth. I had a golden rule, demonstrate beyond reasonable doubt an advanced knowledge of the course.

This would mean having a complex conversation or two with a professor that marked out a unique space for my own thoughts on an issue.

The existence of enough "advanced conversation", resulted in the training needed to ace written questions.

If there was enough time left during an exam, drawing out a fictional example is a really good idea because it is fun for the marker to read.
