English Narrative: Being outside is when you will see Atticus smiling the most! Splashing in the pool, enjoying the air at the park or going back and forth in a swing are a few activities that Atticus loves to do outdoors. Atticus is affectionate and will laugh and hold eye contact with his staff and his teacher. He is able to identify numbers, all 26 letters of the alphabet and is able to identify colors and shapes. Atticus communicates best using words, symbols, sign language, pictures and gestures. If allowed, Atticus would eat ice cream all day long! He also enjoys listening to music, watching cake making shows, and playing with playdough. The ideal family for Atticus would be a two-parent home that could provide him with round the clock supervision. The best family for him would be patient and would have to be willing to learn how to support him through adulthood. Atticus would do best if he was the youngest child in the home and he does like to be by himself at times. Having older youth to model behaviors could also be beneficial for Atticus.
