Jessie is an 8 y/o male that has been residing with our program since August 2016. Jessie is only in the second grade because he did not have the opportunity to be in school until he was 7 years old. Jessie loves school and is eager to learn. His goal is learn "enough'"so that he can be in the third grade with the rest of his peers his age. He is struggling with the fact that he is the oldest and biggest kid in his classroom. His favorite superhero is Spider-man. He enjoys playing basketball, reading, and learning religion.

Jessie is asking for a hand held game this Christmas. He would like a Nintendo DS because he feels like it will help motivate him to do well. Jessie struggles with controlling his impulses and interacting with others, but is motivated by rewards.He wants to be able to play a game on days where he earns his points in school.
