A weighted vest for Daniel to help him focus and feel more regulated

Posted Oct 1, 2024
Daniel really benefits from sensory input. Wearing a weighted vest has made a big difference in his school experience by helping him stay focused, attentive, and regulated. He uses it every day and thinks it has really improved how well he can function. He's hoping to get a similar vest for home to help him feel good and behave well overall.

Daniel is 16 years old and lives in ME

Daniel is an amazing human and loves to be around people. He is always asking for a hug or a tickle or a snuggle on the couch. He also loves it when someone reads to him. While he has lived in residential care for over 5 years, and hasn't seen any of his biological family for almost 2 years, he is so resilient! Daniel has made the staff and other residents at the group home his family. His favorite thing to do is make them laugh by telling jokes and making silly faces. If there is a camera nearby, he's in front of it asking you to take video and pictures. He loves to be outside in the sunshine, exploring the woods and splashing in the creek and puddles. While he will sometimes say he misses being in a traditional home, his situation hasn't dampened his love of life, family, friends, and adventure!
