MNAPT is committed to sharing resources to parents, teachers, therapists, daycare providers, etc. Children ask questions about what is happening at their schools, neighborhoods, what their friends are talking about. Here are some resources to help with current event conversations.

**Commenting will be turned off and previous comments deleted as this is not a place for discussion on these topics. It is a place for resources. If you have an additional resource you would like shared or have questions for MNAPT, please send us an email us at minnesotaapt@gmail.com.

Sometimes we get clients who ask if they can contribute in some meaningful way to the work we do here with kids. We have been working on defining some of the shared woods by our parking lot into a more walking-friendly area. If you'd like to help, we've created a wish list of items. For most things, we'd be happy to accept similar used items in good condition if you are doing some end of the year cleaning and looking to rehome items. Thank you!
