The methods I know of are weighted blankets/clothing, compression clothing, or sensory swings

My son walks around the house with a blanket around him most of the day. It’s not a weighted blanket but it works for him

Getting dogs to lie on you are also great and I personally recommend!

I like using a weighted blanket or a (very) large stuffed animal. Bean bags are also good, but the ones that I have are small so they don't do much.
