Jo Jo is a great young man who lives with his parents. They moved here from Jamaica and are struggling to make ends meet. Jo Jo faces challenges because he has autism and other disabilities. He finds reading and math tough but is working hard to learn important everyday skills. Right now, he's trying to master things like cleaning, getting dressed, and taking care of himself. He is also learning how to shop by himself, cross streets safely, and pick the right clothes for different weather. His behavior therapist says he is sweet, loving, and very determined to do his best. Jo Jo loves Disney, especially Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and enjoys watching "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" on YouTube. Despite the challenges he faces, his story shows hope and strength as he works to grow and thrive in life.

Jo Jo often misplaces items like his coat, sneakers, book bag, and other essentials, which has become a financial burden for his family due to the frequent need for replacements. Using tracking tags on his most important belongings will help address this issue and provide a reliable way to locate them if they go missing. This approach will not only help Jo Jo keep track of his things but also empower him to take greater responsibility for his personal items, fostering a sense of independence and confidence.
