We are ready to start introducing some of the new children we met on our recent trip to Taiwan. And who better to start with than darling little Keith?
Keith is 3 years old and his file indicates that he has a repaired cleft palate and some developmental delays. He was pretty shy and quiet at first, but slowly warmed up and ended up having quite a lot of fun with us.
He knows his colors and copies shapes on a piece of paper. He built block towers and responded very well to praise. He really started warming up when we started being silly, and he does have a cute little laugh!
He is saying words, and putting together simple sentences but his speech is difficult to understand. He is getting speech therapy. He dresses and undresses himself.
By the end of our time together he gave Nancy a sweet hug. It was just precious!
Could Keith be your son? Please contact mary.chapman@gladney.org for more information. And don't forget to join our private Facebook group where we can show photos and videos that can't be shown publicly.
