Support Sessions

Because of our unique role in children’s education, we feel a responsibility to do what we can to assist schools, therapists, and students with all the crisis our nation is experiencing.

As crisis continues throughout the nation, students are encouraged to stay inside to ensure that they remain engaged and healthy. Our therapists have volunteered their time to provide complimentary “Support Sessions” to the country’s youth. These Support Sessions focus on keeping the students calm and engaged while homebound due to the current situation.
