HI! My name is Alexander.
“I like to take walks.”

Let me tell you more about myself…
I’m pretty good at doing puzzles.

And here’s what others say…
A joy to be around, Alex is a friendly and engaging child who is a favorite among the staff at his residential home. He is interested in a number of activities, including swimming, walking and dancing. Fifteen years old, Alex was born of Cape Verdian descent. He has worked hard to gain many new skills despite the challenges of autism and developmental delays. Alex has increased his ability to communicate by using pictures and is able to complete many daily living skills independently. He gets along well with the other children at his residential home and has strong bonds with several of the staff members. At school, Alexander benefits from a small, separate classroom that provides him with the communication, social and educational supports to be successful. He has had many recent successes within his community and has been able to better tolerate noise and groups of people. Alexander has shown tremendous growth over the years and those who are involved in his life all have an overwhelmingly positive response when speaking about him. Many are thrilled and amazed by his recent progress. Legally free for adoption, Alex would do well with a single or two-parent family, with or without children, who will understand his needs for a significant support system as well as provide him with the routines and structure he loves.

If I could have my own special wish…
I would have a home that gives me lots of love and understanding.
