Matthew is very loving and enjoys being active

Matthew, 19, is a sweet, smart and dutiful youth. His favorite place to be is outside. Whether going for a stroll in the fresh air or for a longer trip to the playground, he likes to be out and about. When Matthew is at the park he enjoys running and exploring the area. At the playground, he enjoys playing on the swings and slides. He also loves waterparks, arcades, and sensory gyms! Obviously, he likes being outdoors and engaged in activity.

When he’s home, Matthew enjoys watching cartoons, listening to music on his headphones, and playing with sensory toys. He also enjoys playing in the backyard, especially jumping on a trampoline. Matthew does well at school and is meeting all his academic goals.

Matthew wants to spend as much time as possible with the people that love and care for him, that’s when he is at his happiest and where he thrives the most. Matthew enjoys giving out cuddles, hugs and smiles when he feels comfortable. Matthew responds best to structure and routine, though he easily adapts to new experiences. He does well with other children (any age) and with pets. All individuals and families are welcome!
