Personal Profile
Kimberly is a loving little girl who enjoys practicing her nurturing skills being a mommy. Playing with Barbies or her other dolls is one of her favorite activities. Kimberly enjoys playing with her siblings, but she also likes to play alone. She loves being outside riding her bike or swinging. Kimberly is observant and likes to take stock of a new activity or a new person initially. While usually shy when first meeting someone, once she gets to know you she is very social. When around people she is comfortable with and knows well, she is outspoken and generally has no problem telling them how she feels, what she thinks, or what she wants. Kimberly learns at a slower rate than other children her age and receives supportive services and speech therapy at school. The services she receives at school help ensure that she masters the material she needs to. Step by step instructions that provide her with only a few tasks at a time help Kimberly. She loves to feel like she will be successful at her task and can become overwhelmed by too many instructions or tasks that she may feel are difficult. Kimberly responds well to the routine and reassurance she gets when her caregivers consistently take the time each night to support her and work with her to complete her homework or reading assignments. Kimberly has learned how to express what she needs and how she feels verbally. She can tell you when she is overwhelmed or frustrated and why. However, when she is feeling overwhelmed or frustrated she may express this using physical behavior. Kimberly is learning anger management techniques to calm herself when she is upset.
Desired Family Profile

Personal Profile
Katelyn is a very active, cheerful little girl. She loves being outdoors and active. Riding her bike or playing on the swing set are some of her favorite things to do. She also enjoys playing with her dolls, especially her Barbies. Movies that involve princesses or Barbie herself will captivate Katelyn. She loves to imagine herself in the movies. Full of life and energy, Katelyn typically spends about 20 minutes on some activities and then is off to begin a different adventure. If given three magical wishes Katleyn wants, “lots of dinosaurs, mermaids, and princesses, and stuffed animals.” Katelyn loves centers at school. She can struggle in school with not doing her work, not following directions, and talking. She does not like it when the teacher “moves my clip” as a warning or consequence. Katelyn is a leader at heart and likes to take charge. She is quite capable of deciding how she wants things to go and knowing what she wants. As a natural leader, she tackles following directions from others as a challenge. When things are not able to go the way she envisioned, she will benefit from extra guidance, nurturing, and support with firm boundaries. She can express her emotions using physical actions, so close supervision is needed to help her continue to learn other appropriate ways to express her feelings.

Personal Profile
Thomas is a wonderfully independent and curious little boy who will keep you on your toes. He can be spontaneous and very active. Rough and tumble, he is interested in airplanes, helicopters, toy cars, and rocket ships. He also enjoys coloring, building things with blocks, and playing outside. At school, Thomas is doing great at learning his letters and beginning sounds. Much more of a leader than a follower, Thomas likes to take charge and set the direction for his adventures. This little boy knows what he likes and is able to envision the outcome he wants to see. However, when things are not able to go the way he would like, Thomas needs extra support, guidance, and firm but nurturing boundaries. He can use physical behavior to express his frustration and other emotions. Given the right guidance, his innate leadership tendencies could become a strength in life.
