*B.VISHAL*
Age: 13 Years
Talents: Art, Music
About Vishal: Vishal has been with Ekadaksha for about 5-6 years. This little boy came to us with issues of communication, socialising, clueless about his surroundings, behaviours like laughing uncontrollably, throwing things etc. and zero independence in any skill (Daily skills as well as anything related to activities). He also has a problem with his eye sight.
Over the years, this smart young boy has grown so responsible and mature. He has shown great interest and an in built talent for art and music. His confidence has improved ten fold and he had started becoming independent in most skills. He had also begun to communicate and socialise well with teachers and peers. Once this began, his behaviours also became more positive.
His mother's strong confidence and encouragement towards him, has made him do amazing things this Lockdown period.
During the Lockdown: Remarkable and positive changes. Has become a responsible and caring young teenager. Helps with househole worls and takes care of his mother very well. If she sweats, he comes to wipe off her sweat. When she works, he comes to help her. Has developed a close bond and understanding with his twin sister too.
His care extends to birds as well. When he sees a crow near the house, he immediately puts a biscuit for it, since he feels it is hungry.
Activities of daily living (Eating, bathing, toileting): He has become completely independent.
Academic based functional activities: He is very interested to do any activity given to him. Looks forward to school activities.
Communication: He is now communicating his needs and feelings appropriately and is very clear with his actions.
