Sophia is five years old and full of energy. She has Autism, global developmental delay, impulse control disorder. In addition, she is non-verbal and has severe elopement issues. This means that Sophia has no understanding of danger or boundaries. She runs off in stores, parking lots and from the family’s yard. One scary day she left her classroom to climb a fire escape, planning to “fly!” A stander is a piece of equipment that would help Sophia in so many ways. It would allow her to be more social and spend time outside of her home. Most of all, it would ease her family’s minds just knowing that Sophia is safe. How can you put a price on safety? Variety can! For just $2,000, Sophia can have the stander she so desperately needs. Can you help? Contact varietykc@gmail.com
