About Matthew

Matthew was born in 2016 in the beautiful twin nation of Trinidad and Tobago. He was diagnosed with Level 2 ASD at three years old. He has been receiving sustained support since the age of two however time, finances and access don't always align to enable a perfect therapy plan. Nevertheless, Matthew shows growth, and though very slow, we are excited to see him progress and blossom despite his disability.
