He received his associate degree from Adventist University’s Occupational Therapy Assistant program in Winter Park, Florida in 2015. He is the first student from Adventist University to receive the Newman Civic Fellowship Award for his volunteer work in the community. He is proficient in using Teletherapy, Zones of Regulation, Vestibular integration, Therapeutic Listening program, and reflex integration. Adam successfully incorporates music into his therapy sessions and can come up with a song to motivate every child. He is imaginative and creative and can make any treatment activity fun! Adam loves Star Wars, Marvel, LEGO, Mario, Disney, football, basketball, and dogs. He is definitely a kid at heart and is best friends to many of the clients who come to LifeSkills.

“Working alongside my colleagues at LifeSkills, I have gained the proficiencies necessary to help my clients feel more comfortable in their environment, thereby allowing them to live more fulfilling, and happier lives. The parent of one of my clients once said to me, ‘After bringing my 11-year-old-son to LifeSkills to work with you, I was finally able to hold and cuddle with my son.’ Her son was hypersensitive to touch, and she expressed that she ‘could not have asked for a better gift’. Stories like this make me love what I do at LifeSkills. That is what this clinic is all about.”
