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.
