💙 In Loving Memory of Brian 💙

Our Creative Therapy Care family is deeply saddened to share that one of our longtime clients, Brian Ulmer, has passed away.

Brian has attended occupational therapy incorporating animals since 1999. He reminded every therapy session why this approach matters because connection, love, and understanding transcends words.

Brian had an incredible way of communicating with the animals, and they loved him just as much as we all did. He especially liked Hank, the pot-bellied pig.

We send our deepest condolences to his family and friends, and we’re so grateful for all the beautiful memories we were lucky enough to share with him. 🕊️💛

🧼✨ We Need Your Help! ✨🧼

Creative Therapy Care is running low on some much needed cleaning supplies, and we would greatly appreciate community donations to help us keep our space fresh, safe, and welcoming for everyone (two-legged and four-legged friends included 🐾💛).

Here’s what we need most right now:
• Paper towels
• Disinfecting spray with bleach (like Clorox Clean-Up Multi-Surface Cleaner)
• Bathroom bleach foaming spray
• Laundry detergent pods
• Cloth rags and towels (used is perfect!)
• Toilet tissue

📦 Donation Info:
A large tote has been placed on the sidewalk at the gym for easy drop-offs. If no one is around, you’ll also see a note with Mona’s phone number on the tote and front door.

Your generosity helps us continue providing a clean and safe environment for our clients and therapy animals. Thank you for supporting Creative Therapy Care! 💜

Occupational Therapy Incorporating Animals

Creative Therapy Care is a non-profit organization that aims to treat children and adults with special needs through the use of occupational and speech therapies incorporating animals. We treat individuals of all ages with several diagnoses including, but not limited to, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Cerebral Palsy and behavioral disorders. Sessions at Creative Therapy Care seek to accomplish goals specific to each client, such as develop fine motor and gross motor skills, stimulate language and communication, and increase self-esteem. As mediators in therapy, animals can serve as reinforcers, socializing catalysts, aids to therapy, co-therapists, companions, and as agents of psychological support. Several animals can be found at Creative Therapy Care, such as dogs, ducks, llamas, rabbits and goats.
