The BAC Fit Kids Team took on the Spartan Race at Fenway last month - and crushed it! 💪💥 We were honored to race as TEAM LILY, spreading awareness for STX BP1 and celebrating all the amazing things Lily can do.

Five incredible young athletes and BAC physical therapist Brian Heilferty climbed, crawled, and powered through the course together, with prep happening right in our Fit Kids sessions 🙌🔥

At the BAC, Fit Kids builds more than muscles - it builds confidence, community, and lifelong healthy habits. And seeing these athletes take their hard work (and friendships!) from our Natick gym straight onto the field at Fenway? We couldn’t be prouder ❤️💥

Did you know that BAC offers OT, PT, and speech therapy intensives during the summer and school vacation weeks?

🔴 Intensives can include traditional therapies or specialized treatment programs such as Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT), Interactive Metronome, or Lite Gait.

🟡 Intensive therapy can lead to amazing results in a shorter amount of time than traditional weekly therapy, can jump start progress when initiating therapy services, or can provide a boost if a child's progress has slowed within a traditional weekly therapy model.

🔵 Interested in setting up an intensive for your child this summer? Complete our intensive interest survey at the link below so that we can be in touch as we plan our summer schedule!

Thinking about how to talk to your kid about being inclusive of the differences that make us who we are? Reading books can be a great way to spark conversations, provide age-appropriate language, and model perspective taking with peers.

The book picks featured in today's blog come straight from BAC occupational therapist Carla, who selected some of her favorite reads to help kids see the beauty in differences.
