Therapy & Fun
Therapy & Fun 2023
We wrapped up our 41st year of Therapy & Fun! Relive all the highlights by checking out our blog post here.
Therapy & Fun is a seven week summer program set up similar to a day camp. Children ages 3-14 with a range of disabilities attend three days a week and participate in activities facilitated by our therapists (speech, occupational, and dance-movement) and peer-to-peer volunteers. Activities include games, crafts, music, and more. Over the summer, clients are able to build their speech, motor, and social skills so they can be prepared for the school year ahead.
Caregiver Workshops
Therapy & Fun Caregiver Workshops are free seminars where parents and caretakers receive education and resources that empower them to support their child’s growth at home. Topics covered that these workshops include at-home therapeutic techniques, special education policies, mental health for parents, financial planning and more. These topics are presented by our staff and experts in the field who want to help families and caregivers cultivate a successful and confident plan to care for themselves and their loved ones.
Caregiver workshops are free and open to the public, regardless of if you’re participating in the Therapy & Fun summer program.
Previous Caregiver Workshops Have Included:
Laughter Yoga with Angela Essick Dykes

Water Safety with Whitney Ferrell
Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital Injury Prevention with Kelley Miller
