Nathan from Taiwan

UPDATE August 2024 : We had the chance to meet Nathan and Naomi in July, when a group of children came from Taiwan for a weeklong visit! We really got to see the kids shine and learned so much more about each of their personalities than could ever be learned from reading their profile. If interested in learning more about Nathan and Naomi, please email Superkids@gladney.org! Gladney Superkids program is hopeful to travel to Taiwan in 2023. Please watch here for updates. If interested in volunteering, email superkids@gladney.org. We are excited to introduce siblings Nathan and Naomi! Nathan was born in 2014 and is 8 years old. Naomi was born in 2015 and is 7 years old. Nathan enjoys arts and crafts, playing with toys, and listening to music. Those who know him, describe Nathan as easy going and gets along well with others. Nathan has an outgoing personality and enjoys talking with people. Nathan is a second grader in elemetary school. His teacher stated he is considerate and gets along well with his peers. Nathan receives one-on-one tutoring to help him with his homework, and he is taking additional one-on-one language lessons with his teacher at school. Naomi's favorite activities include listening to stories, playing games, playing with toy cars, running and jumping rope. Those who know Naomi describe her as shy at first and takes time when she is getting to know someone new. Once she has built a relationship with someone, she is friendly and enjoys interacting with them. Naomi is receiving occupational therapy for fine motor delays and speech therapy for her language delays. Her speech therapist mentioned she has made vast improvements on pronunciation since starting therapy. At school her teacher has Naomi read passages aloud from her textbook to help strengthen her pronunciation of words. Naomi is a first grader in elementary school. Her teacher stated she has good learning skills, and she gets along well with her peers. Nathan and Naomi live at the same children's home, where they are able to continue to have a close relationship. Nathan shares a room with 3 other boys between the ages of 6-12 years old, and Naomi shares a room with 3 other girls between the ages of 6-11 years old. Are you a family that can give the necessary time to build a trusting bond with Naomi? Give Nathan one-on-one time to help him focus on tasks at hand? If you think you could be the right family for Nathan and Naomi, please contact us at Superkids@gladney.orgto review their profiles. To protect a child's privacy, Taiwan has strict rules limiting public photos of children.
