During the pandemic, with your generous help we were able to focus on virtual services and PPE for essential in-person sessions. Virtual sessions allowed therapists to see kids, providing therapies vital to support their development, give corrective feedback, and maintain the strong emotional connections they’ve established. Your support was vital for safe treatment, allowing children to continue with their therapeutic progress and maintain contact with their therapists, limiting the isolating effects of the pandemic.

We’re continuing to use technology to make our services more adaptable, helping serve children and families in more convenient and impactful ways.
