Zander has a special kind of magic: the kind that fills a room with pure joy the moment he walks in. His laughter, energy, and determination inspire everyone lucky enough to know him.

From a young age, it was clear that Zander had a spark all his own. After beginning speech and occupational therapy as a toddler, he continued growing and thriving, eventually transitioning to an ABA therapy preschool that helped prepare him for success in Pre-K. Each day, he works hard with his teachers and therapists, reaching milestones and setting new goals for himself. While communication has been one of Zander’s biggest areas of growth, he is finding new ways to express himself, whether it is by using words, pointing to what he needs, or simply leading the way with his physical energy. 

Zander’s personality is pure sunshine. He loves music and can often be found reciting his favorite Disney movie songs word for word—and always dancing like nobody is watching! His independence and creativity show up daily, reminding everyone around him that he is determined to be exactly who he is, in his own way and time. When it comes to favorite activities, Zander loves anything that lets him move and express himself. Outdoor playtime, dancing, singing: if it involves fun and movement, he is there with a big smile and lots of energy.

One of his family’s proudest moments was when Zander proudly counted to ten and named the primary colors all by himself. The excitement and cheering from his loved ones filled the room as they celebrated everything he worked so hard to achieve.

More than anything, Zander has brought his family closer. His journey has taught them the beauty of celebrating small victories, the importance of patience, and the pure joy found in unconditional love. He has helped them see the world in brighter, more colorful ways.

Looking ahead, his family’s dreams for Zander are simple: that he continues to thrive, chase his goals, and always knows how deeply he is loved and supported. His future is as bright as he is, full of endless possibilities and happiness.
