Our Shining Stars

Elena

Elena is a quiet, easygoing middle child. She has an older sister (age 14) and a younger brother (age 7). Elena loves music and studies both vocal and instrumental music. She has difficulties with visual-motor integration, sequential memory, and sensory processing.

The family sought OT after noticing that Elena struggled to complete homework in a timely manner, seemed clumsy, and had difficulty memorizing music. In her time working with OT Studio, Elena has bolstered her fine motor skills, which has allowed her to become a much more comfortable and confident writer. Her overall physical coordination has also improved.

Elena truly enjoys her time at OT Studio, and the family is happy to see how much her skills have improved and how this has allowed her to be more confident in her approach to school, music, and life in general. The family was excited to hear about the Interactive Metronome intervention and felt it could be very beneficial for Elena. However, it was cost prohibitive for them without assistance. The financial support of the grant is what will made this possible for them.
