William is a basketball fan who loves attending games and playing at community parks. Staying active has helped him maintain his health and build connections with others. While attending a specialized treatment center and school, William continues to explore new interests and discover activities he enjoys, including volunteering in his community.

William’s willingness to try new things and help others reflects his growing confidence and desire to stay connected to those around him.

William is a very big basketball fan who loves attending games and playing at his community parks. Basketball has helped him stay healthy and connect with others, so he plans to go to his school’s Halloween costume party as a basketball player. His favorite player is Payton Pritchard, and he hopes to wear a Pritchard jersey to complete the look. Wearing the jersey of a player he looks up to would make his Halloween costume feel like his own. It's not just a one-night outfit, either, because William plans to keep wearing it to games and on the courts long after Halloween.
