The Therapy SPOT

Just like Kim Kardashian is a person with many talents so are our friends who are rocking an extra chromosome. 🥳

This Saturday is World Down Syndrome Day. It’s a day in which we celebrate all the amazing qualities of our friends, but also advocate for their rights and inclusion.

This years theme is “Together Against Loneliness”, by participating in the campaign it’s a great conversation starter for how we can encourage a sense of community for all individuals.

So don’t forget to wear a fun pair of socks (because socks look like chromosomes🧦) this Saturday and join in on the fun!

👏 Speech therapy graduate 👏

Today we are cheering for Rhett, who rocked all his articulation goals and graduated from speech therapy! 🗣️

It’s always an honor when a fellow therapist or healthcare provider chooses us to care for their own children. As therapists, we know the impact that early intervention can have. As moms, we know that our children will often work harder with another professional 💙

Rhett’s speech has improved by leaps and bounds, and with his winning personality, we know he will do big things!

🎉 Speech Therapy Graduate! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating a very special guy who graduated from speech therapy! 🗣️✨

We have watched this little one grow in confidence, communication, and independence. From first words to clearer words and big conversations, the progress has been incredible—and we are so proud!

Graduation days are our favorite because they mean a child has reached important goals and is ready for their next big adventure. As therapists, these days can also be bittersweet because we miss our kiddos when they leave us!🌟

Way to go, superstar! Your hard work paid off, and we can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll say and do next. 💙

✨ Meet the SPOT ✨

Meet Gracen Durden, one of our amazing Occupational Therapists!

Gracen’s journey with The SPOT started back in 2016 when she volunteered at our summer day camp as a junior in high school looking for service hours. That experience sparked her love for occupational therapy, and now she has come full circle serving the same community where it all began.

She earned her Bachelor’s in Human Development and Family Science from the University of Georgia and went on to complete her Master of Health Science in Occupational Therapy at Augusta University.

Gracen loves helping kids build confidence and independence. One of her favorite parts of the job is seeing the excitement on a child’s face when they master a new skill. She also enjoys working with primitive reflex integration and has been learning even more about it recently.

Outside of the clinic, Gracen enjoys all things DIY. You can usually find her painting, crafting, or flipping furniture. She also loves exploring antique stores and spending time near the lake.

Gracen was born and raised in Statesboro, where she now lives with her husband BJ, whom she married in 2025, and their chocolate lab Cooper.

We’re so grateful she’s part of The SPOT team and serving the community she grew up in! 💛
