Brayden's story:
Brayden is 5 years old, and was diagnosed with autism in October 2021. Brayden is a lovable, energetic, friendly boy. He loves to play with dinosaurs, godzilla, and King kong. He also enjoys to play outside with other kids, swim, and play baseball. Brayden did not talk for a while, he was not reaching his milestones when it came to verbal communication or understanding. When he was diagnosed it was a shock. Ever since he started services he has been reaching new accomplishment. With help from family, friends, and teachers he has bloomed. Brayden is doing absolutely amazing and we are so proud of him. Since last year he's learned how to hold conversations and work on his hand coordination skills. Every day is a challenge and but less challenging when he has us to support him.
