something vague Report post Posted June 24, 2008 I hope i havent used a trade name there! Has anyone discovered body sox. We have been loaned one of these for a pupil at school. It is a lycra rectangular 'bag' with a long openning at the front which velcros shut. A person can climb into the bag and feel enclosed and secure. He can lay down in it and stretch his limbs against the material. We have found that the bag has an immediate calming effect on some of our pupils when they have become over stimulated. I would send a photo if I knew how. I think they are very expensive but look quite easy to make Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lynne Report post Posted June 25, 2008 yes they can be very calming. Also you can slowly pull the person around in the body sock and this also helps. Also you can add the weighted blanket on top and the tight squeezing and heavy weight are very calming. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mandyque Report post Posted July 13, 2008 My dd has one and loves it! I got a large piece of lycra so I could make a spare but she got hold of it and uses it to wrap herself up in bed now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
