Mohtashim Motiwala, son of Akhtar Hussain Motiwala has been
associated with Kazim Trust for the past two years. As a
child, Mohatashim was aggressive and did not like to socialize. He was
extremely hyperactive. He had a problem understanding emotions and showing his
own emotions. Also, he had been struggling in his academics and relationship;
could not communicate effectively. Consequently, had difficulty in having a
healthy relationship with his siblings. As such, he did not have any friends,
because he did not mingle with people. He had no understanding of the
consequences his behaviour would cause. As a teenager, life was getting tougher
for him.
When Mohtashim was brought to Kazim Trust two
years ago, he must have been 13 years old. Our therapists observed him and
evaluated him for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). He struggled
with the various symptoms and functional impairments that a child would with
ADHD. He could hardly focus on anything. He was extremely fidgety and was
easily distracted.
After relentless service provided by the therapists at KazimTrust, a gradual change was observed in Mohtashim’s behaviour. He started
coming out of his shell. The frustration and aggression seen earlier were
because of his lack of understanding of his behaviour. The intense behaviour
therapies given to him changed his life for good. He became more focused and
was able to manage his shortcomings. Now he knows well, there is no way out but
to try and live a normal life. The team at Kazim Trust never
gave up on him.
Mohtashim started getting good grades and was accomplishing his
goals in his academics. As a result of the persistence of his therapists, he
developed ability of accepting challenges. All this brought him success; now he
is a student of the first year (commerce). He is more confident because of his
improved academic results. His developing skills show that he is going to go
places.
