Travis
Date of Birth: November 1993
|
Travis describes himself as a "country boy" and has a firm belief that you can fix anything with duct tape. Just ask him about it! Travis is a very likable and polite young man. He is caring and respectful to others, but sometimes tries too hard to be a "good helper". Travis knows no stranger- he is able to light a room with his smile and conversation. He enjoys coloring books, puzzles, playing with Matchbox cars, and being outdoors. Travis' favorite activities are running and riding his bike, but he would be the first to join you for pizza and an episode of Spongebob Squarepants. Travis is currently in a residential treatment center and has made significant progress with social skills and personal boundaries. Travis is well-liked by staff. He has identified the behaviors he needs to work on and is actively pursuing his goals with an estimated discharge time of summer 2010. Travis is taking medication to help with his behaviors and mood. He will need assistance with his education as he has an IEP. Travis needs a patient and experienced family who can make a firm and long-term commitment to help him succeed. A highly structured environment with clear and consistent guidelines and constant supervision will be necessary. The adoptive family will need to continue working with Travis on his behaviors and assisting him with available resources. Travis should be the youngest or only child in the home. Subsidies are available. Agency: Athens County Children Services |
