Meet the kids

Daniel (March 2010) is a great kid with a happy demeanor. He is very curious and enjoys interacting with people.  Daniel is into the Micky Mouse Clubhouse series and particularly gets a kick out of the Hot Dog Dance, even singing the word “hot dog” along with the song.  He also enjoys dancing to “Baby Shark”.  Although he has minimal vocabulary, Daniel can say the words “bye”, “ball’, and “ma”.  Daniel requires supervision and support for all his daily needs.

Daniel was born with a condition that has prevented him from making medical and developmental progress.  He requires a wheelchair for mobility and receives services from the Regional Center as well as specialized educational services.  Daniel needs a forever family that will strive to understand his challenges and advocate for him so that he can live his best life.
