Trip to the Aquarium for Leland who wants to send time with his new family

Posted Apr 11, 2018
In Leland’s new foster home, he is just beginning to experience what many children his age might take for granted. His new foster parents have been wonderful about treating Leland like a ‘regular kid’. He is eating out, has gone to the zoo, seen his first movie and gone bowling. He is playing recreational soccer for the first time and loves this activity. His foster parents would like to continue to provide Leland with rich experiences that will help him to learn how to interact with typical peers and adults and that will improve his language and vocabulary skills.

Leland is 13 years old and lives in CO

Leland has lived in multiple settings, including with his mother and stepfather, in a group home and in three foster homes all in a matter of 2 years. He has been diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury resulting from abuse by his biological father. Leland has significant behavioral challenges, as well as academic and language delays. In spite of all of the challenges this little boy has faced, he continues to show resilience and grit every day.
