Our Shining Stars
Rezki
Rezki is 12 years old, a lover of Legos, and fluent in French. In kindergarten his teachers noticed him struggling with attention and being irritated with things that did not bother other children. Since then Rezki has been working with Juia Harris in the OT Studio and at home through many sensory integration activities. Over the years with OT, Rezki has made improvements in his sensitivity to sounds, textures, and smells. He no longer chews on his sleeves, touches things impulsively, and can focus on instruction better. Once the family started implementing activities recommended by the occupational therapist, Rezki became able to control his desire for sensory input and began reaching out in more appropriate ways. He has been learning to advocate for himself by communicating and identifying his feelings better.
