Although Tana does not communicate verbally or understand spoken language, she expresses herself in her own ways. She often smiles in response to gentle attention, may make soft vocalizations, and lets caregivers know when she is uncomfortable through quiet crying or facial expressions. She also responds positively to certain therapy exercises and enjoys the comfort of familiar, soothing music.
Tana will thrive in a family that is prepared to provide lifelong love, advocacy, and specialized medical care. She would benefit from caregivers who can celebrate the small but meaningful moments of connection that make her unique.
