The Story Behind the Brand...

  

y dad and mom had four children. The first three

 

 

children were healthy and regular people. Then I came

 

 

along, a baby with a difference, Down Syndrome. I had

 

a hole in my heart, a rip in my heart valve, jaundice, a big tongue and a

 

wobbly head. As I got older I also realized that I am a slow learner.

 

One day it was bothering me that I was having a hard time doing my

 

school work. I told my dad about this problem and he shared a story about

 

when he was out in his garden picking tomatoes the year I was born. Every

 

year my dad grows a garden and loves to plant tomatoes. At harvest time

 

there were Beefsteak tomatoes on a bush. When he saw a differently shaped

 

tomato it got his attention. It had a large, smooth, bright red enlarged side

 

that made my dad want to pick it up and study the bump because it was

 

 so unique and looked appetizing. At supper, that tomato was just as

 

  juicy as the others.

 

  Even though I’m different like the tomato as a person with Down

 

  Syndrome, my family and friends love me even more and want to

 

  help me when I need it. My dad tells me that even though I have

 

   more difficulty learning than my brother and sisters, my lovable

 

    and outgoing personality and strong character make me just

 

         as special as they are. I guess I am the special “tomato”

 

                       on our family’s bush!

Special Tomato™ is Tim Bergeron’s latest product line. He has over 25 years of experience designing, building,

and selling adaptive positioning equipment, including founding the Tumble Forms® product line as its original

designer. Tim has coupled his design experience with a new manufacturing process

that provides soft durable, impermeable cushions for positioning children with

special needs. The first Special Tomato™ Brand Product is the Multi-Positioning

Seat.

Now you may be asking, “What’s so Special about Tomatoes”? Tim is

pictured here with his youngest daughter, Carrie, a young adult with

Down syndrome. Carrie’s story, “The Special Tomato”, summarizes what

Tim believes that most parents feel about their child with special needs.

“Every child is special in their own unique way. It’s a parent’s job to find ways

to facilitate their child’s growth in a way that includes them equally within the

family and community.” For children with physical disabilities, adaptive equipment 

can play an important role in helping them reach their highest functioning level.
