Aliyana, also known as Ali, is an active and curious 10-year-old girl who is described as "adorable, sweet, affectionate and highly intelligent."  She loves to explore, and would be happy to spend all day outside looking at bugs and plants.  Her very favorite thing to do is play with water, whether in a pool, water table or even a puddle!  \

Aliyana also enjoys pretend play like feeding stuffed animals and putting them to bed. She will put Little People toys in the bus and drive it around while singing "Wheels on the Bus," and can also be heard singing other songs such as "Baby Shark" throughout the day.

Her social worker says that Ali would definitely benefit from a structured schedule.
