NJ DCFS - Ocean CountyJayla has Autism and ADHD. She was adopted by her grandmother when her bio mom was struggling with addiction. She takes a guitar class in school. With the help of her therapist, guitar/music has become a tool for coping and de-escalating when upset.
Jayla has a deep passion for making music, and playing instruments has become a wonderful outlet for her. It allows her to process her emotions in a healthy way. She loves both performing and listening to music, and she dreams of one day being part of an orchestra. This holiday season, a guitar would make the perfect gift for her, as it would enhance her musical journey and creativity.
