Meet Jin*. He’s a 4-year-old boy who is in St. Nicholas’ Home’s Early Intervention Program. JIn suffers from Oculocutaneous Albinism and has been diagnosed with Autism. He also has low vision rendering him almost completely dependent on others since birth.
Jin is an only child who is currently living with his mother and father. He can understand instructions given to him and he interacts well with his family, as well as, other children his age. Like most 4-year-old boys, he’s very adventurous. He likes to explore his surrounding area often.
After being introduced to St. Nicholas’ Home a little over a year ago, the greatest improvement we’ve seen in Jin has been in his communication. He’s learning how to communicate best through repetition. He is also learning how communicate in multiple languages. His parents were encouraged to continue to speak to him in multiple languages to help further his development in communication.
Our hope for Jin is to continue to help develop his communication skills, enhance his cognitive skills, and ultimately push him to live more independently. We are also very encouraged by his parents who have taken a step towards Jin’s development by sending him to Prospect Rainbow, which offers support to children with disabilities.
