Our son has a few complexities including a speech disorder related to a genetic condition. He has had a lot of early intervention thearpy so lots of fun and does well 1:1 with adults. He's social, wants to make friends but needs help, and enjoys activities like playing with trains, puzzles, cars, and spending time outdoors. Both kids like cooking, doing craft/art and enjoy gardening and music. Our daughter is a bit on the shy side initially but loves attention, art, craft, playing with dolls, and whipping up some fun in the kitchen.
