Danny and Daisy
Daisy Diagnosis: flat/valgus feet, mild hypermetropia of the right eye, mild astigmatism of the left eye.
Danny is described as a friendly boy, likes attention. He tries very hard to do his best at school but his delays make it challenging.
Daisy is developmentally on target. She is a sweet and curious little girl, she loves interacting with kids and adults.
Fine motor skills are somewhat delayed, particularly in activities requiring manipulation of small objects—such as drawing, cutting, and gluing. In the cognitive domain, Daisy shows interest in the world around her. She can count to 10, knows the basic colors and geometric shapes, and distinguishes between animals and household items. She is able to assemble simple puzzles and play with construction sets. A mildly slowed pace of task completion is associated with motor difficulties. Daisy speaks in simple sentences, retells short stories, and learns poems and songs. She understands adult speech and follows instructions. Although she shows interest in other children, she struggles to follow the rules of group play.
Based on vision diagnostics, glasses were prescribed for permanent wear. A follow-up examination by an orthopedist led to the replacement of her shoes with more appropriate orthopedic footwear, selected based on her current condition and foot size.

Tana #
Tana has significant medical needs, including cerebral palsy, a seizure disorder, and severe neurological conditions that have greatly impacted her development. She is non-ambulatory, has not developed head control or independent motor skills, and is completely dependent on caregivers for all aspects of her daily care. She is fed through a nasogastric tube and requires comprehensive, ongoing medical support.
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.
