Meet the Morning Buddies

The Morning Buddies®, as they are called, help a child to understand at their level what is going to happen during a medical visit. After all, who does not fear a syringe, antiseptic alcohol, a gauze bandage, a cold stethoscope or a thermometer? These cause apprehension in adults, so think about what is going on in a child’s mind.

 

About UthFull Learning, LLC

Uth Full Learning®, LLC. was inspired and founded by JeReese Freeman & his mother, Theresa Freeman, in Jan. 2001 and nurtured through two miraculous years on his road to recovery.

JeReese, Theresa’s eight-year-old special-needs son who has undergone 24 surgeries and countless medical procedures, is the inspiration for the development of the product line. He continues to provide input through his reaction to his mother’s ever-growing circle of medical buddy friends.

Theresa Freeman has developed a cast of interactive characters, toys, presentations, live performances, and educational materials, which medical professionals, doctors, and parents can use to help their small patients through the stress of uncomfortable and sometimes painful medical procedures.

The Morning Buddies®, as they are called, help children understand, at their level, what will happen during the visit and why… Who does not fear a syringe, antiseptic alcohol, a gauze bandage, a cold stethoscope or a thermometer? These cause apprehension in adults, so think about what is going on in a child’s mind.

Her take-off on easing a child’s fears is to transform the instruments used by the doctor into fun, comforting, plush, take-along characters.

Each character is a soft, cuddly, and colorful toy designed as a replica of its more threatening counterpart.

Theresa and her Medical Buddies® have come to life through their introductory cartoon episodesompany Biography and CBS 11 News cover story.

Her accomplishments are shown through many achievement awards, and she has been recognized and featured in several health fairs and social events.

Our Story

The Kit-Chen is a work-based program for special needs parents (SNP). Its goal is to allow them to continue caring for their special needs kid(s) while also providing financially for them.

As special needs parents, we recognize that most people are not about to work a regular 9 – 5 job without feeling like they’re neglecting their child by doing so.  The creator of The Kit-Chen, Theresa Freeman, personally experienced this when taking care of her son.  She needed to figure out the solution, and The Kit-Chen was born.

Theresa has joined forces with various chefs who participate by providing meals for the food truck for special events, work functions, and catering opportunities.   These events offer great job opportunities for special needs parents.

We believe it takes Special people to see the Needs of  Parenting in such a special way!

You can be part of the solution for these parents by reserving The Kit-Chen for your next event!
