We also make weighted blankets for children with special needs and autism spectrum disorder. I am very proud of the ladies and gentleman who volunteer and provide for our area of Southwest Missouri. Our chapter motto is: We make a difference one stitch at a time.
Just curious, what are "weighted blankets"? I have a special needs child and know lots of parents of and kids w/autism and special needs and have never heard of this.
TIA,
Chris
