Support and Comfort

Our Therapy Teams supply unique, irreplaceable support in classrooms where reading is not the focus of the therapy team/student relationship.

These visits may include children who are:

• Grieving
• Autistic
• Challenged with Down’s Syndrome
• Multiple Handicapped
• Non-responsive to traditional stimulus
• Confronting challenges that require special or individualized care, and prohibit their inclusion in a typical classroom.

“One of our special needs students only calmed down when he was with the therapy dog. We put a lock of the dog’s hair in a plastic bag in his pocket to touch when he needed relief. This got him over a bad patch in second grade.” —Volunteer
