I wanted to introduce myself to you since you might have some questions. You may be wondering why I use a wheelchair and why I do not speak with words. I have a condition called Cerebral Palsy, or CP for short. When I was born I had a little trouble and that made it hard for me to be able to walk, talk and communicate.
Another thing to know about me is that I do not see very well- I can see bright colors and movement, but it is hard for me to see faces. Sometimes it might look like I'm sleeping, but I'm really not- I just keep my eyes down when I'm trying to pay attention. My hearing is very good though.
Another important thing to know about me is that even though I cannot do many things you do, I still like to have people talk to me, read to me, play with me, and include me in activities. I really enjoy meeting new friends and being at school. I love music and dancing and I really love swimming. After school I sometimes ride my bike, go swinging or ride my zip line! In the winter time I like to go skiing and sledding.
I also love to spend time with my family and go on adventures. My family always finds a way for me to participate in whatever we do. You can read all about my summer adventures here.
Some other interesting facts about me are that I was born in California and I moved here when I was six. My other classroom is across the hall with Mrs. Johnson. I hope some of you will be able to visit my class sometimes. I have a little brother named Liam and he is 8. My little sister is named Addy and she is 6. Here we are on the first day of school.
