Norna was diagnosed in June of 2019 with ADHD and currently takes medication to stabilize and maintain her concentration. She has since shown improvements.
Update 2022:
We learned some really neat things about Norna – and this was one of my favorites! “Norna shared that she dressed up as Santa on Christmas to help the school principal pass out candies to students. At that time, many classmates wanted certain colors of candies, and she was displeased because she thought having candies to eat is a very nice thing in itself already. She does *not* like them being picky. Norna also shared that the way she likes to celebrate birthday is to share her cake with everyone. Anyone can join her celebration.”
Over the past few months Norna has been able to visit a theme park, which she enjoyed! Norna enjoys PE class, playing on the computer and Calligraphy. She has natural talent and appreciation for song and poetry!
