Do you just get the blanket for the 2 weeks trial then need to give the blanket back?

[KKLtd 10]

Yes unfortunately the blanket will have to be returned after 2 weeks.

mmm, so the product is from Denmark/USA and has been around for a while, to buy on the open market, suitable for children who may have ADHD and others who may have Learning Disabilities, Cerebral Palsy etc, so it's not solely for children with ADHD? its also availble from many other suppliers and companies.

 

the phrasing of your post kingkraft gives rise to the inference that the product is new and untried by the public, and going through an official trial, which it obviously isn't, given the product history. Is What you are offering actually TRY BEFORE YOU BUY from us?

 

If it's not TRY BEFORE YOU BUY from us, please let the public know what research etc this trial will be contributing to and its GCP /SOPs/ ethics approval for use with a child.

 

If it's just 'TRY BEFORE YOU BUY from us' or 'try before you seek funding for this equipment', please let SForummers know this and change the post so other parents are aware of this.

 

Sorry to sound negative, but parents need to know what trial research, if any, they and their child would be invovled with - if its not actually TRY BEFORE YOU BUT from us that's the real deal being advertised here.

Thank you for your post XGX.

 

The blankets are relatively new to the UK and up to now only Danish research has been conducted. You are correct when you say that the blanket can be used with learning disabilities and CP however we are looking for families with children who have ADHD to help feedback towards a research project carried out at The University of Southern Denmark which has shown that the Protac Ball Blanket significantly improves ADHD children’s sleep and their powers of concentration at school.

 

Kingkraft and Rompa are the sole distributors of the product in the UK therefore it is not available through a host of suppliers.

 

The product has been used throughout the UK and we do offer a try before you buy service however we are looking for specific families through this thread and my details are given to provide further information upon request.
