Sensory Goods 2

Welcome to our latest guest post. Owen Parker, father of two autistic children, tell us about weighted blankets and Sensory Goods the company he founded to manufacture them.

Owen shares “Sensory Goods is a company made just to meet the needs of people affected by developmental disorders. We provide an inventory of product designed to meet autism and sensory integration needs. We carry items like weighted and floor products, sensory swings, oral motors and more.

This company was formed by the owner to continue an effort him and his family had been working on since 2006. The effort was to not only bring awareness to autistic and sensory integration needs but also a therapeutic solution at an affordable price. The effort began in 2006 when the owner was informed that his two children were diagnosed with Autism. Just like everyone else, they had to find a way to help their children’s needs on a strict budget. So his family began to make therapy products for their children at home. They had found an affordable way to help with needs and realized so many more people could use the help. They started off with a hand full of products that quickly turned into an entire inventory in hopes to meet the demanding response.

Sensory Goods and its owner try to keep the same perspective to this day, meet autistic and

sensory integration needs while meeting the financial need of those caring for people affected by these developmental disorders.

Weighted Blankets:

Sensory Goods’ Weighted Blankets continue to change lives by giving families and individuals the sleep they desire and deserve.  Our Weighted Blankets are known to provide therapeutic relief for those with autism, sensory processing disorder, developmental disorders, and more.  However, the Weighted Blankets from Sensory Goods have been, and continue, to help those who do not have special need as well. Our Weighted Blankets help regulate a normal sleeping pattern as well as calm anxiety and stress.

Not only are Sensory Goods’ Weighted Blankets effective, but they are made with high quality materials and diligent care. Along with the highest level of craftsmanship, Sensory Goods unique design keeps the Weighted Blankets modern, acceptable, and yet still therapeutic. Offering two filling options, Plastic Pellets or Glass Beads, the Weighted Blanket’s weight is evenly distributed in a quilted material hidden within the material of your choice where no one can see. They are washer and dryer safe. Also, Sensory Goods’ Weighted Blankets are made to last, but we offer the most affordable Weighted Blankets, just in case you and your family want a NEW one!

Every Weighted Blanket is custom made by hand once ordered, and shipped next business day*. This makes Sensory Goods’ Weighted Blankets fully customizable. You get to choose from over 1200 pattern combinations, making your Weighted Blanket fit you and your personality. Not only that, but you get to choose the weight and filling material. Also, if there is a color and/or pattern that you want us to use but you do not see, then just let us know, and we will do our best to fulfill your order exactly the way you want it.

All of Sensory Goods’ Weighted Blankets are made by men and women who are committed to character, children, and community** in Surprise, Arizona, USA.”
