Computer desk for Emma who is practicing her computer skills

Posted Sep 16, 2024
Emma is really thriving in her new environment. She is learning essential skills that will enable her to live as independently as possible despite her disabilities. She has been practicing her computer skills and learning to navigate tools that will help her connect with the world. Emma is bright and loves learning. She has a dedicated desk where she can practice typing and other skills, as well as indulge in coloring and drawing. Having her own desk will make her feel very grown up and special.

Emma is 17 years old and lives in MO

Emma is a wonderful and sweet girl who, despite a mental handicap, does her very best to learn and work towards independence. She is determined to learn the necessary skills she will need to become more independent and eventually able to be on her own. She's an affectionate young lady who loves everyone, especially those who will give her big hugs! Emma has a creative mind and loves making those rubber band bracelets, she finds blue avatar to be the greatest thing ever and is obsessed with Squishmallows. Emma has faced a lot of challenges, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Emma was adopted as a young child and unfortunately later she was put back into the system. She has had to learn to trust the world again as she prepares to live in it as an adult. She worries a lot, but her caretakers try their best to make her feel loved, to teach her that there is good in the world, and to be a guiding presence in her young life.
