My Story
Clinically Grounded, Family Focused
I'm Jake, founder of Ted Kangaroo. I'm a parent, and I'm neurodiverse — dyslexic, ADHD.
I know what it feels like to be the kid who processes the world differently. I also know what happens when that kid finds the tools that work.
I went from struggling high school student to Columbia, then Harvard Law, and a career beyond, because I found what worked for me at the right stage of my development. That's what this brand is for.
My passion for neurodiversity advocacy drives me to create products that don't just calm kids down, but lift them up—giving them what they need to thrive.
My commitment to science and evidence-based design isn't incidental. I grew up in a family of physicians — my father has practiced psychiatry with a focus on family medicine for decades. Rigorous, careful thinking about what actually helps people isn't a brand value for me. It's how I was raised. We bring that same standard to our products — constantly learning from our network of doctors, therapists, and clinicians to improve our products.
Every child who processes the world differently deserves tools that actually work for them. That's what Ted Kangaroo is here to do.
Love Is Our Foundation
We believe that loving our kids means not just supporting them, but empowering them to be independent and, eventually, succeed on their own.
We’re not just a brand — we’re a partner for families, schools, and therapists around the world.

With Each And Every Product ...
We understand that every child is unique — especially those with sensory processing challenges. That’s why we design each product with heart, science, and safety.
Our sensory vests, chairs, and activity tools are created in collaboration with pediatric therapists to support calm, focus, and body awareness. Just like a kangaroo pouch, our sensory tools are crafted to give a gentle compression — just like a calming hug — providing therapeutic treatment while helping develop a child's sensory functions.
Advisory Council
Guided by Leading Experts in Child Development
Our Advisory Council brings together nationally recognized practitioners in sensory processing, ADHD, autism, and neurodiversity. Our goal at Ted Kangaroo is that every sensory tool in our catalogue is clinically grounded and genuinely beneficial.
