A family for Jackson (12)...
The right family for Jackson would need to provide supervision and individual attention to Jackson. Caregivers with experience with youth and youth with diverse needs is preferred as Jackson needs a balance of structure and routine with expectations he can understand as well as space for independence and growth. A family with other children is possible, however, older children may be preferred and supervision around peers and young children is needed for Jackson as he learns appropriate boundaries. Jackson would do well with a family that does activities together and spends time outdoors.
