Cody Vandewark is an Entrust client who lives in Brownstone. Cody is a fun-loving boy who has developmental disabilities and is working towards gaining more independence.
Cody has made wonderful progress lately. Recently, he prepared orange juice from a frozen can without any help from his caregivers. Cody followed the instructions perfectly, and kept the kitchen and utensils clean. Cody was so happy with his orange juice, he called himself "Juice Man."
