About me

I am very affectionate once a relationship has been built up together, I am currently non-verbal and I work with a speech and language therapist to learn to use signs and symbols. No experience is needed for this, just a willingness to learn and support me.

I love to go on walks and I am good at staying close, but sometimes I can run and I do have limited awareness of danger.

I enjoy going on days out and I particularly enjoy going to soft play, I will require support around other children when I am there.

I love trains, too! When I do get upset my behaviours are often self directed, but I can sometimes hit and pull hair of others.

I like to keep busy and I am a very happy and cheerful child when on the go.
