Meet Jayden! Jayden is an adorable 5-year-old boy who is strong and active. Jayden's teachers at school say he is quite cooperative, gets along well with his peers, and is not shy with strangers. He is trusting of others and likes to be close with people. Jayden likes watching cartoons and is especially interested in wheels. He also likes to play at the park, throw balls, and scoot around a bicycle. Jayden lives a stable daily life with a normal routine. Jayden is easily excited and likes to attract attention from adults to test their reactions.

Because Jayden has developmental delays, he attends a special development school where he receives physical, occupational and speech therapies every week. Jayden can also be easily distracted so he needs timely reminders throughout the day. Most recently, Jayden's teachers have observed that his expressive language has gradually improved, and his sentences and pronunciation have become clearer. He is also able to put on his socks and shoes by himself and can turn off the lights and sleep on his own throughout the night.
