Sahen is a happy child who has a huge smile and loves to laugh. He is irresistible and spirited, curious and persistent. This mischievous child has a sensitive nature and tends to have interests similar to children of a younger age.
Sahen is physically healthy. He has autism and this severely impacts his intellectual ability and communication skills. He is a hands-on learner whose delayed social development creates challenges in his relationships with other children and adults. Sahen is supported in his school program with an individual educational plan and a full-time education assistant. He uses augmentative communication tools to communicate with his teachers and peers.
Do you have experience with autism? The best family for Sahen will commit to loving him, advocating for him, and accepting his struggles in the future. This child will need patience and understanding. Sahen is waiting for a special family that holds the skills to recognize the unique child behind the intellectual disability and behavioural challenges. It would be beneficial for Sahen to maintain ongoing contact with his current foster parent.
