A weighted lap pad for Shawn to use at school to help keep him focused

Posted Feb 20, 2018
Shawn is in need of a weighted lap pad to use at school. This would help him feel more focused, secure, and allow him to get more work done. He wishes for one shaped like a lizard so it looks more like a stuffed animal to everyone instead of something else that makes him look different from everyone else.

Shawn is 17 years old and lives in NC

Shawn is a wonderful young man who struggles with the lasting effects of abuse and neglect. He has many special needs and requires a high level of care and attention. He likes being part of the family and likes working on fixing things. Shawn likes to eat Chick-fil-A and listen to music. Shawn loves helping people and wants to be a teacher someday.
