Omer has autism and studies in a special education class. He has been with Imagine for 5 years, starting as a shy introverted teenager, joining the programme because he wanted to play the guitar.
It took him a while to open up, but by the end of the first year, he performed as a lead vocal and guitar at the end of year show.
His teacher was very excited by the progress he had made and convinced the head of the school to bring IMAGINE to the whole class. They have since performed for the school on 2 occasions for audiences outside the school and even performed in the parliament.
This made Omer very popular, and a kind of a “rock star” in the school and he was chosen for the students’ council of his class.
His parents couldn’t believe his progress and how much being part of ‘Imagine’ had transformed his life.
