Ollie, 5 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Ollie is one of the busiest little boys you'll ever meet! With both autism and ADHD, he has a super high need for sensory input and is often found turning on kitchen sinks, swinging chandeliers, and escaping from locked doors. He's truly a little Houdini, and it takes every ounce of his foster mom's energy to maintain him in her home and out of a residential center. He's so sweet and affectionate, but received no services or interventions before entering foster care.

Ollie, who does not speak and has never attended school, loves to explore. He has the ability to unlock doors, turn on faucets, and escape from adult-proof seatbelt buckles, often engaging in sensory explorations that require constant supervision. He is happiest when he receives safe sensory stimulation, and this rocker could keep him occupied—and his foster mom sane—for a long time.
