Uros is a 6 year old boy in grade 1. He regularly seeks sensory movement input and uses a variety of methods to find it during his day. He has 2 educational assistants that spend the day with him due to the impulsive nature of his sensory seeking. To help keep Uros safe and lessen some stress on the family, they requested a GPS tracking system so they could find him no matter when and where he went.
Aurora is a happy little girl who loves going to the library for storytime. Aurora and her family have been waiting a year to access public speech therapy services. Aurora currently has about 20 words that she uses and requires consistent therapy to help her gain language skills, interact with peers and express her needs and wants.
Malaki is a sweet 3 year old that struggles with self regulation when he is out in public. He likes to have a safe space where he can go. He has outgrown regular strollers and can be impulsive leading to him running off. With a stroller wagon, it would help give Malakai a safe space to go, along with the safety of a 5-point harness to ensure he is unable to get out. The wagon has a larger capacity size allowing Malakai to use it for long term.
