- Another project from Fathering Autism, a DIY weighted lap pad. People with autism often enjoy the weight and pressure of heavy lap pads and weighted blankets. This is a DIY lap pad that adds a sensory play aspect to it.

Haha yes, this was definitely worth watching for the personality.
Awww, look at Isaiah's face when dad mentions he has a girlfriend, that's so cute!
That pillowcase is pretty fantastic. I'm sure Abbie will love it :)
I'm teaching special ed again next year but in a different school, no idea what kind of kids I will be teaching until I meet them at the end of January. I will totally know how to make a weighted pillow if I need to now. I've made glitter calm down jars and fidget spinners with my current multi-cat class (some are on the spectrum but their main issues are ADHD, ODD and mental health), which they loved. Had my last day with them yesterday, I'm going to miss them!
“Are we kidnapping a mermaid...”
your little bits of humour get me every time. youre hilarious 😂
Niamh Houlihan Thanks, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. ;)
FatheringAutism love your family. just discovered you all. I'm 32 and being assessed for autism now. Awesome mermaid pillow. Best dad ever! best brother ever!
Niamh Houlihan I enjoy watching your Videos
You two....never a full moment.
This was awesome! Educational, entertaining and inspiring... off to make myself one similar for my needy restless little chicken legs... but instead of mermaid skin.... lots of beads, yarn, fabric and whatever else I can attach for sensory fidgety fun!
That was very impressive how you wrote on the mermaid pillow 😊 Haha you too are so funny!! 😂😂😂😂💗
Gosh I really wanna touch the case . sequins are such a good sensory experience!! (unless they're on your own clothes)

Your “after the beep” content always has me in stitches...turns out it was like that way, way before I started watching sometime in 2017!! U guys are awesome!!
YEEESSS!!!! My son will LOVE this, and I didn't even think of using this when he's in the car. That is a terrific idea.
aha that diss to isaiah at the beginning about having no money because of his girlfriend ....my husband can relate....he was learning to drive (in the UK) until i came along and then he spent all his money on train tickets to come visit me. 2 1/2 years on and he still can't drive but we are married so you win some you loose some!.
Loving this creative Christmas gift too!
Hmmm think I could do this on a much larger scale..... say with a duvet cover maybe????? I’d probably use the gallon bags in that case.... annnnnd a lot of em! Ha! Annnnnd perhaps instead of a towel- a few yards of fleece material or something like it??? My crafty brain is on overdrive now and I really want to make myself a weighted blanket!
I love that thank you for watching on the pillow case
You have a gorgeous son
Walmart sells regular mermaid skin pillows. I love. the material.
+jimcarreyonline That's cool, I didn't know that.
Best dad EVER!!!
I love the mermaid skin pillowcase! I've not seen it before. Very cool!
That was awesome! I always enjoy the humor and interactions of you and Isaiah! 😊
Thanks for this. It is very useful. I was looking for one to make a weighted pillow/cushion for a student.
I made a similar lap pad a while ago using rice and sandwich ziploc bags. It's a bit noisy though. Crinkly. I love the idea of adding padding with a towel! I may add that to mine to make it softer and slightly heavier. Also love the colour changing case - I would be constantly playing with that.. may have to get one!
*We'll do 2 scoops....no we'll do 3....let's make it 4.....you got it??? Good...I'm gonna go watch TV!!!! CRAFTING!!!!!
(holds drink for Isaiah)*
Your channel always cheers me up!!!!!
great idea, i'm looking into getting the supplies now that i need & i found the perfect pillow case that's my son's school colors😆 thank you!
as always, great video ! it's so nice to see the relationship you have with your son and ofcourse Abigail too 😊😊
I hope she loves the pillow !
Doing a bit of binge watching, was so awesome to watch the fun you had while making the pillow for Abigail😁
You guys are the best! Thanks for the awesome idea!!
I love this! I might make one for both of my boys, they would love them!
Totally made one for my classroom. Can't wait for the kids to check it out on Monday! Thank you for the great idea. :)
This is such an awesome project!!
Thanks for the video. My son fidgets a lot and gets in trouble at school for being so "busy". Hopefully this will help ☺
