CA DCFS - Los Angeles County

Gerardo is a sweet, quiet little one who enjoys playing video games with his school friends online. Gerardo is trying to adjust to not having his father living in the family home. Gerardo has a small parakeet as a pet bird and enjoys spending time and taking care of it. He enjoys feeding his pet bird and letting it loose in his bedroom. Gerardo is a sweet, respectful boy who enjoys talking about his days at school, his pet bird, and visiting his dad at the park. Although Gerardo is diagnosed with ADHD, he tries his best in school and is currently passing all his classes.

A Meta Quest 3 would help Gerardo with his ADHD as it would help with improving his focus, practice problem-solving, and practice regulating his emotions through interactive education games. It would also provide a safe, engaging outlet for physical activity. Gerardo’s father also enjoys gaming, so it would be something they can both play with during Gerardo’s monitored visits with his father.
