Welcome To Therapy and the Performing Arts

We provide children and young adults with physical and intellectual disabilities the opportunity to enjoy various arts and recreational programs in addition to receiving therapeutic benefits from their participation. Children gain new and rewarding experiences from which they develop self-confidence, increase motor function, and have fun.

We offer age appropriate programming for children and young adults diagnosed with:

  • Down syndrome
  • Chromosomal abnormalities
  • Other cognitive and physical disabilities
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Genetic disorders

Programs

Music, dance, drama, art, along with skiing, ice skating, horseback riding and pet therapy, bowling, windsurfing, swimming, and sailing represent some of the programs offered.

Classes are taught by certified instructors/ therapists with expertise in various disciplines. Programs take place in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire and are offered on a sliding scale fee based on the family's ability to pay.
