For sensory regulation, at home or in class.
Families found this product before we knew how to describe it. A mother of a PDA autistic nine-year-old. A retired ASD teacher who wanted six for her classroom. We are careful about what we claim, so we will simply tell you what it is and let their words do the rest.

Deep pressure, soft fabric and sound that stays close by.
What we are not saying. The Drop Pillow is not a medical device and not a therapy. We make no claim that it treats or improves autism, ADHD, anxiety or any other condition. What follows is a description of an object and a set of things families have told us. Please read it that way.
The arms give proprioceptive input either side of the head. It is the reason people call it a head hug.
Nothing in or on the ears, nothing to pull off. The speakers sit inside the foam and slide to fit.
Latex-free. No loose parts. Zip-off cover, machine washable cold. Spare covers sold separately so one wash never takes it out of service.
People who came here for the same reason
“We have been using the Drop Pillow daily for a month and have noticed profound effects on our 9-year-old son, who is PDA autistic. We have noticed fewer meltdowns, more successful emotional regulation, easier transitions between activities. As a family we can wholeheartedly recommend the Drop Pillow.”
“It feels so good. Only I can hear the music or sleep stories which is perfect. It gives the best head squish. If I still worked in an ASD classroom I would buy one or six for my students. I will recommend the Drop Pillow to anyone who has a hard time shutting their brain off and slowing the world down.”
“Our son is extremely high energy. The Drop Pillow helps him wind down at night, which has been a big challenge without using screens.”
