Meet Teegan

Teegan is a happy and affectionate 12 year old boy.  He loves movement of all kinds: rocking in his chair, jumping on the trampoline, climbing on the playground and swimming at the pool.  Movement helps him calm his body down.  

Teegan has multiple diagnoses resulting in developmental delays, intellectual disability and growth issues. For five years Teegan had been using a therapy chair. He slept in it nightly and used it to calm himself at other times during the day. Due to significant use, the chair had become worn and was falling apart. Prior to having the chair Teegan did not sleep much and the chair has enabled him to get the rest needed to focus and learn.

Teegan’s family approached the Love Fund for assistance with a new therapy chair to replace the previously well-loved chair.  He is happily using the new chair for sensory management to decrease negative/dangerous behaviors. Teegan is resting better each night in the new chair thanks to the generosity of Love Fund supporters! 

“All of the family is able to sleep through the night because Teegan is able to sleep through the night in this chair. This gives Teegan more focus, and he is able to learn and build his skills better.” - Angela Pierce, Support Coordinator, Eitas
