About Yomiah
Yomiah is a happy and inquisitive boy who is described by those who know him best as sweet and kind with a love of music. He sings a variety of songs, from B-I-N-G-O to Lady Gaga, and will often listen to musical toys by holding them up to his ears. Yomiah is an active child who likes to play independently, and will also engage with adults by reaching for their hands and using other gestures.
He communicates using a combination of words, signs, and augmentative communication and is also working with tactile symbols and Braille. Yomiah benefits from individualized attention and support within a predictable and stable routine. He often sings specific songs to specific people, showing awareness and familiarity with them.
Yomiah will be best supported by a family who has a medical background or a willingness to learn and who is prepared to support and advocate for him throughout his life. Caregivers who are patient, nurturing, affectionate and strong advocates would be the best match for him.
