Micah

Micah is a sweet and affectionate child. He enjoys being outdoors, and his favorite things to do are swinging, collecting sticks and swimming. Micah is energetic and prefers to be active throughout the day. He is friendly and gets along well with other children although he often prefers to simply observe his peers. Micah is very perceptive to subtle changes and can garner information about his surroundings and the people around him by spending time quietly observing. Micah is non-verbal so he relates to others through eye contact, facial expressions, body language, hugs, and physical affection. It is easy to tell when Micah is happy; he has the biggest smile you have ever seen! He is also able to use language boards to communicate certain things but primarily uses the boards to progress in school. Micah develops strong relationships with his caregivers and teachers, and he enjoys attending school as well as outings in his community. He even participated in the local holiday parade this past Christmas season and especially enjoyed riding through town on a float. Micah loves the water during warmer weather, especially splash pads and swimming pools. Micah also enjoys animals and loves to visit local zoos, farms, and drive-thru safaris. Micah has a daily ritual of going outside and hunting down the perfect stick each day; he will explore the wooded areas, looking for the ideal small branch each morning and will carry that stick around with him throughout the day. Micah appears to gain comfort from having his stick with him and handles it safely and responsibly. Micah will be a wonderful addition to a loving forever family.
