She enjoys being able to trace her letters and numbers with a dry erase marker. Delilah also enjoys coloring and drawing.

Delilah will thrive with a family that is aware of autism spectrum disorder and community supports that would help her be the best person she can be. Her forever family will provide her with structure as she does well with a set routine. Her family will be willing to care for her through adulthood and ensure she gets all the services she needs. While it would not be a requirement, it would be ideal for Delilah's family to be supportive of her relationship with her siblings and allow Facetime and ongoing communication with them.
