Occupation is work and a child’s work is play. OTs help children play on the playground, work in the classroom, and help at home.
Dance/Movement Therapy
DMT is all about the process of dancing and moving. Instead of talking through therapy, you dance and move through it.

Now & Then: Our Story
While working as a speech pathologist in public schools, Jean Silbar, our founding executive director, noticed that every fall children with disabilities and special needs were re-learning skills that they had achieved but lost over the summer. In 1982 she implemented a summer therapy program which not only addressed speech-language therapy but occupational and sensory therapies as well.The program grew until the new agency incorporated and gained 501(c)3 status in 1987. From humble roots of a few therapists serving a handful of children then to over 40 staff servings hundreds of children a month now, we have grown by leaps and bounds without losing sight of our mission: helping people with disabilities walk, talk, learn, and play.
