My Project

At our school, we serve a diverse group of students, including many with physical disabilities or developmental delays who benefit greatly from physical therapy. Our goal is to make therapy sessions engaging, fun, and effective by incorporating specialized physical therapy toys. These tools are essential for helping our students improve their motor skills, coordination, strength, and confidence in a playful, supportive environment.

Currently, our therapy resources are limited, and many of our students miss out on the interactive tools that could accelerate their progress.

With your support, we aim to acquire a variety of physical therapy toys, including bean bags, sound balls, letter bowling, and scoop and catch. These items are designed to make therapy feel like play, encouraging students to participate eagerly while working toward their physical goals.

By funding this project, you’ll help our students build essential skills that enhance their independence and quality of life. Your generosity will bring smiles, movement, and progress to our classroom, empowering our students to reach their full potential. Thank you for helping us create a brighter, more active future for these incredible kids!
