There is no perfect timeline for a child to find their voice๐Ÿ’›
When Xavi first came to Comprehensive Therapy Center, he was non-verbal. His parents had questions, concerns, and a deep desire to understand how their son experiences the world. What they found here was a care team that listened, supported, and believed in him.

Today, Xavi is speaking, sharing his love of trains, and learning how to express his needs and feelings. His progress reflects whatโ€™s possible when families are met with compassion, expertise, and access to careโ€”without financial barriers.

Olivia is one of our wonderful Therapy and Fun volunteers and she has an important message:

"Hi. It's me, Olivia. I'm a Therapy and Fun volunteer and for my Girl Scout Bronze Award I am collecting "Our Family" UPCs. With them I will be getting more supplies for this summer. Thanks for your help saving them."

If you shop at any stores that carry "Our Family" brand products, please save your UPCs and drop them off at Comprehensive Therapy Center to help Olivia reach her goal! Every UPC brings us closer to having the supplies we need for an amazing summer.

We had such a great time at the Pucks for Autism event this weekend! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’

Our sock toss booth was busy with participants aiming for prizes like signed jerseys, bobbleheads, shoes, and even a signed hockey stick. Every pair of tossed socks was donated to people in need, which made the fun even more meaningful.

Weโ€™re grateful for our partnership with Pucks for Autism and the work they do for the Autism community.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, played, and supported the cause. ๐Ÿงฆโœจ

๐ŸŽ‰ Celebrating Evan - And YOU! ๐ŸŽ‰

We're ending this with Evan's inspiring story!

This summer at Therapy & Life Skills, Evan made incredible strides. He learned to answer questions from peers and adults during group activities, building his communication confidence. He set up ball toss games by following step-by-step instructions, developing his motor planning and independence.

But here's what makes us smile: Evan started approaching peers and inviting them to play! He'd set up the game, explain how to play, and engage with friends through structured activities. These moments of connection, coordination, and confidence - this is what progress looks like.

Evan showed growth in gross motor skills, social communication, and the courage to reach out and include others. That's the power of comprehensive therapy that meets kids where they are.

To everyone who donated today: THANK YOU. Your generosity means more kids get access to life-changing therapy. You're investing in their futures, their friendships, and their potential.

It's not too late to give! ๐Ÿ’™ therapycenter.org/donate

๐Ÿง  Andre's Growth in Action! ๐Ÿง 

Andre came to Therapy & Fun ready to build his memory and self-advocacy skills - and he crushed both goals!

This summer, Andre worked on remembering and following multi-step instructions during play activities. His ability to recall and execute all the steps improved significantly throughout the program. Andre also showed great self-awareness - when he forgot a step, he knew to ask for it to be repeated rather than guessing. That's a skill that will serve him well in school and beyond.

But here's what really stood out: Andre learned to speak up for himself. He spontaneously used self-advocacy phrases to communicate his needs and boundaries with peers. He also learned to respond appropriately when friends set boundaries with him. In group discussions, Andre could identify when characters in stories needed to advocate for themselves and suggest how they could do it.

These skills - remembering instructions, speaking up for yourself, respecting others' boundaries - are foundational for success in every social setting.

Your donation helps kids like Andre develop the cognitive and social skills that build confidence and independence. ๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸŒŸ Leo's Incredible Journey! ๐ŸŒŸ

Leo's transformation this summer at Therapy & Fun is exactly why we do what we do!

In speech therapy, Leo worked hard on specific speech sounds, and his progress was remarkable. What started as effortful practice became easier and more natural as the weeks went by. Leo developed strong self-awareness about his speech, recognizing when something didn't sound quite right.

But here's the real story: Leo's growth in connecting with his peers was tremendous. At the beginning of summer, Leo often needed multiple prompts to join group activities and sometimes refused altogether. By the end? Leo was independently walking up to groups of kids and asking, "What are you doing? Can I join?" He went from observer to participant to friend-maker.

That's the kind of transformation that changes a child's experience at school, on the playground, and in life.

Your donation helps kids like Leo build both the communication skills and the social confidence they need to thrive.

Leo, we are so incredibly proud of how far you've come!

๐ŸŒŸ Meet Sophiana! ๐ŸŒŸ

This summer at Therapy & Fun, Sophiana made fantastic progress in her communication skills. She learned to describe objects and pictures using three or more details โ€” things like color, shape, category, or what something is used for. With visual supports, she became more confident and began offering some details all on her own, showing growing independence and expressive strength.

In group sessions, Sophiana also blossomed as a conversational partner. She worked hard to listen to questions and respond appropriately, and she especially shined when she initiated the topic herself. One of her greatest strengths was the way she consistently asked thoughtful questions to both peers and adults, helping her build connections throughout the program.

On this , your support helps young communicators like Sophiana continue growing their voices, confidence, and relationships. ๐Ÿ’™

We're so proud of you, Sophiana!
