Wish submitted by:

Mikey is a loving boy who lives with his dad and older sister. Unique in his autism and non-verbal communication, he adds a rich depth to their family dynamic. Mikey has a passion for puzzles and enjoys spending quality time with his sister and dad. Counting games bring him joy and help him forge connections with those around him. Unfortunately, their mother can no longer be part of their lives due to the poor choices she has made. Now, with custody of his beloved children, their father faces immense challenges as he strives to make ends meet while providing them with a loving home.

Mikey, who is non-verbal and has autism, would greatly benefit from using autism communication cards. His Behavioral Analyst recommended these cards during his ABA therapy sessions at school and at home to help enhance his communication skills. These cards would provide him with tools to express himself more effectively, fostering his social interactions and boosting his confidence. Mikey is enthusiastic about learning, and these communication cards would allow him to progress at his own pace, celebrating his achievements along the way.
