noah  A-Z

Noah Arazashvili was born in 2009 to a loving family that regarded him as a miracle child. He was drawn to musical instruments at a very early age, especially piano. At age 2.5 it became apparent that his speech and motor skills were not developing, and that's when the shocking news was delivered to his parents that Noah had Autism.

Through many challenges, music has always been Noah's high point. He often plays piano when he wakes up and before going to bed. At age 4 he even composed some of his own tunes. Then his musical interest migrated to iPad, where his album Rhythm Unspoken was created, using the GarageBand app. He also enjoys trying all types of instruments, and he seems to have the niche for all, but piano remains his main passion. Besides music he is involved in sports to help develop motor and social skills, he even competed and won gold medals at Florida Special Olympics in swim and golf.

Although Noah can't freely express himself, and has challenges socially, through countless hours of therapy and biomedical treatment he can now read in different languages, write, compute, and enjoy variety of activities, including serving at his church. And if he could explain he would say to you: when you see a child with autism, don't shy away, but try to engage them in their world, and encourage them with all you've got that everything is possible. After all, we all have been blesses by some type of gifts, and we have been given this lifetime to discover, develop and utilize them to fulfill our purpose.
