He is going to therapy (psicomotricità) three days a week. Ruben speaks very well, but has difficulty with hand coordination and concentration.

He is going to infant school with a support schoolmistress. His health is good. He is very emotional, but sleeps quietly.

He loves to play with Matteo (his brother, 6 years old ) and loves to imitate him. Ruben is a very sweet baby.
