Josiah has made incredible strides in his independence and ability to express his opinions and desires, especially with those outside his immediate family. When first introduced, he was quiet and reserved, rarely smiling or offering verbal confirmation about activities. Today, just five months later, he is more open and expressive, with members of his community noting his increased confidence and vocal engagement. Josiah now takes greater initiative, whether it’s for an enjoyable activity or completing a necessary chore. His growth has been remarkable and deeply inspiring to witness.
