Hello! My name is Mallory. I am 16 years old. I am non-verbal, but I don’t let it stop me from interacting with other people and my sensory activities. I am in 10th grade. I indicate that I like to listen to music. I enjoy a wide range of food and drinks. I love to drink water, milk, juice, sodas, and so on. Like typical teenagers, I love junk food, but don’t discriminate against vegetables because I will eat them up, too. My favorite things to do are to lounge around the house and people watch when I’m out and about. I am super friendly and will wave at passers byes. I also really enjoy spending time by the water and listening to music. I would love to be adopted by a family who will love me, nurture me, and be patient with me. Mallory has faced many individual challenges in her 16 years and her perfect forever family would be one who would understand her unique challenges and be able to meet her specific needs as she grows into the young lady that she is.
