Jasmine
 Jasmine was born prematurely and is currently receiving occupational, speech and physical therapy to address her needs. She just had a developmental evaluation that diagnosed her with Pervasive Development Disorder (mentally retarded with delayed speech). Jasmine is a very easy-going toddler who is very alert and continues to make positive gains in the right directions. When it comes to feeding, Jasmine has to be tube-fed through a G-button. This experience is not always easy for Jasmine to accept, but she is doing much better. Jasmine just recently started to walk and is able to say a few words.
Jasmine needs a family that will be very understanding of her developmental needs and play an active part in her overall growth and development.
