Children also match a sound with something they look at, which is what they do when they learn to read. Occupational therapy often is misunderstood. People think it's how adults get back to an occupation they used to have. It's playing, stretching and growing. Grants and tuition we receive come with all sorts of regulations and dictate those who are eligible to receive our services.
Children have to meet certain criteria.
It's a shame we can't provide services to prevent a disability from getting to a point where it meets that criteria. My dream is that our program and the Child Care Center are housed in one big beautiful building, allowing our children to play, grow and learn together. I would also like to see each child treated as an individual who has very special needs, but where the children are more alike than different in terms of growing. I want to provide services for children with special needs where they have the opportunity to be with their age mates who don't have disabilities. A medical benefits information meeting will be held Wednesday, April 24, from noon to 2 p.m., in Richardson Hall, Room 120 .
