Diego, 4 years old, NJ

Wish submitted by:

Diego, who has autism-related challenges sometimes, has trouble controlling his emotions, leading to tears or hitting due to sensory sensitivities. His family is committed to supporting him and is learning how to best care for him despite their low income. Diego loves hugs, puzzles, stacking toys, playground trips, and his favorite fruits. With continued support, they are hopeful for a brighter future together.

Diego, who has autism, can benefit greatly from an iPad. This device would significantly enhance his learning experience by helping him identify shapes and letters engagingly and interactively with his Behavior Therapist. The iPad's educational apps tailored for children would provide him with personalized learning opportunities, allowing him to progress at his own pace and celebrate his achievements. Diego loves using his dad's cellphone, but it often drains the battery, necessitating constant charging, which can be quite challenging for our family. An iPad would not only give him a dedicated space to learn and explore, but it would also allow him to connect with resources that cater to his unique learning style. This special gift would support Diego’s growth and development while also offering him an important outlet for expression and creativity. Your support in making this wish come true would mean so much to Diego and our family.
