Jace from Vermont

Jace 9-year-old My Favorite Things: I love being active and hands-on. I like Legos, action figures, playing games, riding my bike, swimming, and sledding. Things I do not like: I do not like to be told what to do, instead, it is better when I am given options such as “would you rather do this or that?” I do not like to be rushed. Favorite Foods: I am not a picky eater. Some of my favorite foods right now are Chinese food, marble cake, and veggies. What I want in a family: I want a family who are patient, gentle, kind, and consistent. What I want families to know about me: I am a curious person who likes to ask a lot of questions and talk on the phone. I am interested in figuring out how things work. I like to have personal space and it helps when I can play in forts, get wrapped up like a burrito, and rest under weighted blankets. What we want families to know about Jace: Jace is a child who likes to problem solve with grownups so he can be a part of the decision making process. He will do best with a trauma informed family who can provide structure, routine, respond to him quickly, and not get into power struggles. Jace needs a family who can engage with service providers such as therapists and case managers to ensure his needs are met. Jace will also be more successful in a home with no animals.
