Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Developmental Play Groups
Our free and low-cost developmental play groups are facilitated by licensed pediatric occupational and physical therapists and are designed to promote skills in all areas of development.
Our backgrounds as pediatric physical and occupational therapists allow us to design and facilitate play experiences that can meet the needs of all children, regardless of age or ability level. During our work as school-based therapists in the Bedford City Schools, we have seen firsthand that many kids are struggling with the foundational skills they need to be successful in school and other endeavors, including attention, behavior, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, self-regulation, social skills, and more.
