How does one meet the needs of a living child?
Do they require a place to sleep?
Things to eat?
What else should be given to them?
Thank you for any assistance given in the responses.

Be sure to read with them! As much as they like! If they are old enough, teach them the characters as well.

I cannot speak.
Will this be a detriment to teaching them to read?

[wearingguess]

Oh, I wonder.
Hmm
Well
The two of you have means of communication other than audible speech, I imagine.
Does the child speak?
I wonder if it is possible to read to someone using sign and gesture
Perhaps you could illustrate the action in the stories?

Sign language is something my sibling and I have been learning.
Perhaps I can try to teach the child too.
In the meantime I will take your advice about illustration.
Thank you.
