📚✨ The new school year is here, and at APOT we’re filled with excitement for all the growth, learning, and possibilities ahead!

As we step into classrooms, therapy spaces, and homes this fall, we’re reminded that every student carries a unique story. That’s why we lead with compassion, understanding, patience, and trauma-informed care in everything we do. 💙

These values are at the heart of meaningful progress—because when children feel safe, supported, and seen, their true potential can shine. 🌟

Here’s to a school year filled with connection, resilience, and small victories that add up to something BIG. We’re honored to be on this journey with our students, families, and school partners.

👉 Cheers to a year of hope, healing, and growth!

🎉 And just like that… our summer camp has come to a close! 💛

What an incredible few weeks it’s been—filled with laughter, learning, friendships, and SO much fun. Watching our campers grow, explore, and shine in their own amazing ways has been the absolute highlight of our year.

Today, the halls are quiet and the classrooms are empty, but they’re still full of the joy, energy, and memories our campers left behind.

We’re beyond grateful to Cardinal O'Hara High School for welcoming us into their beautiful, accessible space and making it possible for every child to feel included and supported. A huge thank you as well to our amazing OT and PT volunteers and staff—you brought so much heart, creativity, and care to every single day.

We already can’t wait to see what next summer brings. Until then… keep shining, campers! ☀️🧡
