Story
The Reunification Team is working with a father and son who truly exemplify what a father and child relationship should look like. The son has Cerebral Palsy and is extremely limited to what he is able to do. The father sacrifices all of his time in order to cater to the needs of his son. The father is working odd jobs because he needs to be readily available to tend to his son. Due to the father not having stable employment, he is unable to purchase items that would be crucial in his son's development. The father is extremely loving and compassionate toward his son, and his son looks at his father as if he is the only other person on the planet. The son has been improving everyday under the care of his father, and he is gaining more control of his legs, hands, arms, neck, and head. The father is requesting some activities/games that will help strengthen his sons fine motor skills. The son would truly benefit from having the following items. Melissa and Doug sound puzzles, these puzzles make sounds relating to the image as they are being inserted into their correct spot. Another item that would assist with the son's fine motor skills is the Wack a frog game made by HopeRock. Having these items would allow the son to get more practice with using his fingers and hands, they would also provide a challenge that the son needs to reach his full potential. The father would benefit from these items because it would increase the chances of his son furthering his development.
