What does fdmt ? stand for?
Fostering the maximum development of all by significantly contributing to the sensory well-being of individuals.
With manimo, fdmt was the first creator of weighted stuffed animals in Canada.
manimo was designed over 20 years ago by Karine Gagner, an entrepreneur who had the ambition to contribute to the development of children with special needs, including those of her daughter living with an autism spectrum disorder. Surrounded by healthcare professionals and dedicated collaborators, they developed the very first weighted plush in Canada, manimo. Quickly, manimo was noticed by education and health professionals to help children with their sensory needs in a fun and innovative way. manimo has since been recommended by education professionals and above all loved by all children with, or without, unique challenges.
