Meet NovaHi, I am Nova Reign Dunnican. At 1 month old, I was diagnosed with a rare disorder called Cyclin Dependent Kinase Like 5 (CDKL5). The doctors told me that I will always have seizures, limited ability to walk, poor muscle tone, intellectual disability, and the list goes on. To sum it up, I was told that I would have a global severe developmental delay. I know, most of you are wondering how I can play with such a disability. There are many ways in which a person with a disability can play, but first you must understand our world. This disorder does not define me. I am very fun to play with, and I would love to play with friends like you. Would you like to play with me?
