Colby, 5 years old, MO

Colby is a sweet boy still discovering the world around him, one day at a time. Colby is living in kinship care, where family connections provide important stability and support as he continues to grow. As a child with autism and developmental delays, he may experience the world a little differently and benefits from patience, understanding, and opportunities that support his individual needs. Play is an important part of his growth, giving him opportunities to build new skills, explore his interests, and connect with the people around him in ways that feel comfortable to him. With the right support, encouragement, and plenty of opportunities to simply enjoy being a kid, Colby deserves every chance to thrive, discover his potential, and create happy memories along the way.
