Meet Alvans, a happy teen with a sense of humor and abundant curiosity. He enjoys watching musical videos on his iPad. He especially enjoys watching “Wheels on the Bus”. He finds and watches versions of this song in every language from every culture and he laughs when he hears the words. Alvans enjoys hearing the song and watching big wheels on trucks, buses and any vehicle or even on medical carts. Handing Alvans a toy car will bring bouts of hearty laughter as he drops the toy on to the floor, expecting you to pick it up, only to drop it once more. This drop & return activity has no time limit and will always evoke Alvans’ delight. When Alvans reaches for your hand to guide the play...well, that is a special connection that is quite memorable with his great eyes speaking kindness. Delighting in music, he enjoys nursery rhymes, songs with simple melodies and some Pop and Rock music. Alvans will demonstrate his enthusiasm for songs and will participate by humming, clapping, vocalizing and laughing. Alvans also likes riding on the adaptive bicycle and exploring toys. An ideal family for Alvans would want to spend time interacting with him and caring for his special needs. Alvans is content on his iPad and likes to sit in the center of whatever activity is occurring. Since music is the major interest in Alvans' life, having a joy of the sounds of music and passing the time with Alvans would be an asset to his life.
