Parker Lynch had a vision that would revolutionize education technology and wellness care for families with children diagnosed with ASD and ADHD. This vision gave birth to Hedgehog Health, a business dedicated to providing innovative solutions and support for children on the autism spectrum.
Parker, the founder of Hedgehog Health, originally hails from Birmingham, Michigan, where he grew up and spent his formative years. However, his journey took him far and wide. After completing his undergraduate studies at Indiana University, Parker decided to embark on a career change. He found himself teaching kindergarten at an International school in Thailand, immersing himself in a new culture and gaining valuable experiences.
Driven by a deep passion for education and a desire to make a lasting impact in the lives of children with special needs, Parker pursued further education at New York University. There, he completed a Dual MA in Special Education and Childhood Education, honing his expertise in the field. With a decade of experience teaching in the special education space, Parker possessed a wealth of knowledge and insights into the unique challenges faced by children with ASD and ADHD.
What sets Hedgehog Health apart from other businesses is his groundbreaking invention, the Hoglet. The Hoglet is the world’s first fidget computer mouse, combining the benefits of a fidget gadget with the functionality of a computer mouse. This innovative device caters to sensory seekers, aiding them in focusing while working on a computer. With its wireless capabilities and seamless integration of fun and functionality, the Hoglet has garnered acclaim as a game-changer in the field of education technology.
Parker firmly believes that his products should be accessible in every school, ensuring that unique learners have the necessary tools to thrive. Hedgehog Health has developed an on-the-go version of the Hoglet, in keychain form, and is planning on creating additional devices to assist unique learners.
