Congratulations to Mayar A. for being selected as our next SSTAR of the month!!
Mayar A. was a double nominee for this honor based on her outstanding work in both physical and occupational therapy! Occupational therapist, Miss Niki, has nothing but praise for this sweet SSTar! She states, "Mayar demonstrates excellent attendance and arrives to each OT session happy, engaged, and eager to work toward her goals. She has a strong understanding of her therapy objectives and is highly conscious of them during activities, actively self-monitoring her performance.” Currently, Miss Niki and Mayar are “focusing on increased use of her right hand to stabilize and hold objects, and she consistently reminds herself to use this hand during tasks. Notably, her progress extends beyond therapy sessions—her father has reported increased use of her right hand at home, including helping her mother in the kitchen. I am so pleased Mayar is being recognized as SStar of the Month!” Physical therapist Miss Erin is equally impressed with Mayar. Miss Erin states, “Mayar is currently working on stairs with me; as well as transferring from the floor to standing. She is always eager to attend therapy and is willing to try new exercises that I throw her way.” Additionally, Miss Erin feels, “Mayar makes every session fun and is always willing to include me on the food she makes with Niki. She has great attendance as well! Overall, she is a joy to work with and is always a hard worker!”
Way to go, Mayar!
Mayar is an eleven-year-old who is just as sweet as can be! At school, she enjoys exploring her creative side in art class. Outside of the classroom though, you can find Mayar in the swimming pool or out horseback riding! During her down time, Mayar likes to relax with her favorite TV show, “Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom.” She also likes to hang out with her siblings, Ceasar, Daniel, and Malak, and snuggle up with her two cats, Margo and Milou. If Mayar was to win one million dollars, she would “build a big house with big playground and swimming pool and a farm so all kids can come and play in it for free.” (Is it any wonder everyone at SST thinks she is just the sweetest!) If Mayar’s parents were to describe her in one word, the word they would choose is a “GEM!” They state, “she shines joy and love to everyone around her, and every day is the best day ever.”
Congratulations Mayar!
Thank you for bringing all your sweetness and creativity to therapy each week!
