Jo Jo is a great young man who lives with his parents. They moved here from Jamaica and are struggling to make ends meet. Jo Jo faces challenges because he has autism and other disabilities. He finds reading and math tough but is working hard to learn important everyday skills. Right now, he's trying to master things like cleaning, getting dressed, and taking care of himself. He is also learning how to shop by himself, cross streets safely, and pick the right clothes for different weather. His behavior therapist says he is sweet, loving, and very determined to do his best. Jo Jo loves Disney, especially Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and enjoys watching "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" on YouTube. Despite the challenges he faces, his story shows hope and strength as he works to grow and thrive in life.

Jo Jo is a truly remarkable young man on his journey to develop focus and engage in meaningful activities. Jo Jo, who is navigating life with autism and multiple disabilities, faces challenges with attention and sitting still. Sensory toys can make a world of difference in helping him practice these essential skills. These items were recently suggested by his therapist, and these toys are not just playthings; they serve as important tools that can transform Jo Jo’s ability to concentrate and participate in various projects and activities. By incorporating engaging sensory experiences into his routine, we can enhance his focus, promote relaxation, and inspire joy during learning.
