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 17 years old and lives in ME

Daniel is an amazing person who loves being around others. He often asks for hugs, tickles, or snuggles on the couch. Additionally, he enjoys when someone reads to him. Although he has lived in residential care for several years and hasn't seen his biological family in some time, he remains incredibly resilient. Daniel has embraced the staff and other residents at his group home as his family. His favorite activity is making them laugh by telling jokes and making silly faces. If there's a camera nearby, he eagerly jumps in front of it, asking for pictures and videos. He loves spending time outdoors, exploring the woods, and splashing in creeks and puddles. Although he occasionally expresses that he misses living in a traditional home, his situation does not diminish his love for life, family, friends, and adventure!
