Outgoing, inquisitive and affectionate are some words to describe Jeff. He also sees himself as a caring and loving person who likes all types of activities. He enjoys being on the computer and playing video games. Board games and riding his bike are other favourite pastimes.
This helpful boy generally relates very well to adults. However, at times, Jeff struggles with authority figures at school and he can be disagreeable. Jeff also has difficulty with his social skills and he finds it challenging to understand how his peers may feel in certain situations. Jeff is seeing a therapist to work through some emotional issues and medication helps better manage some of his behaviours.
At school Jeff is doing fairly well and he is achieving average marks with some modifications to his learning program. Jeff also has a behavioural individual educational plan and he usually needs help in organization and staying on task. Jeff's favourite subjects are French, Math and Science, and he has difficulties in reading and writing.
For this likeable and energetic boy having an adoptive family means no more moves and people to care for him even when he’s grownup. Jeff’s adoptive family can include other children and pets. He would do well with a mom who is able to give clear and consistent direction, in addition to love. Jeff’s adoptive family needs to support openness with his birth mother through yearly visits and letters. He also wants to stay in contact with his current and previous foster families.
