Liam, 2 years old, OH

Wish submitted by:

Liam is a cheerful young boy who truly enjoys life! He has spent his entire life in foster care and has faced many battles and challenges along the way. Liam loves being around his foster family's dogs and horses, and he really enjoys spending time outdoors. He has made significant progress in his foster home and has a promising future ahead of him, despite all the struggles he has encountered so far!

Liam has struggled with self-soothing and regulating his emotions due to experiencing neonatal abstinence syndrome when he was born. He also struggles with speech and has several oral fixations, including biting everyone he loves purely because he enjoys the sensory input. His foster parent has tried several different types of chewies for Liam and while they have helped quite a bit, It has been suggested that a device such as the ARK Z-Vibe device would help Liam experience his oral fixations in other ways and to develop muscles in his mouth in a way that will promote him developing more speech skills. This will help so much as Liam continues on this journey of learning how to navigate the world while battling struggles that were set up for him before he was even born.
