A few short weeks into the Leaps and Bounds class, Ariana’s mother Maira is already seeing a difference in her daughter: “She’s battling a lot more with her movement, getting stronger.” Ariana’s chromosome abnormality wasn’t known until she was born. Even then, doctors were not able to provide an exact prognosis. “It was hard to process her diagnosis. We had no idea. It was scary because I didn’t know the resources available.” Prior to finding Momentum, Maira was concerned for Ariana’s future because she hadn’t met a number of developmental milestones. Now the family is comforted and confident knowing the therapists at Momentum PTN services are here to help guide Ariana along the way. “You can tell the staff has so much knowledge and patience with Ariana. We know she’s in good hands when we take her to class. It makes me feel good knowing my daughter is being taken care of.” Ariana is more than her diagnosis. We are here not only to help children develop, but also to give them the opportunity to enjoy being a child. Together, we can change a child’s future for the better.
Children deserve to enjoy a carefree childhood. So many families don’t have the resources or the financial means to access early intervention when their child is in need. Statistics show early intervention services can change a child’s developmental path and improve outcomes for children, families, and communities. Your donation today can be the gift that helps children like Ariana be, well, a kid. These funds pour directly into the therapies and equipment used to make class effective and fun, empowering both the child and their family.
We promise to continue providing excellent care from our therapists and teachers to the hundreds of children and families we support in their daily lives. These services require funding from a number of sources including state and federal dollars, and while those funding streams ebb and flow, we know our donors and supporters want to continue making a child’s life better. We leverage every dollar of funding we receive from generous people like you. We promise choice to the families who utilize occupational, physical and speech therapies, as well as Early Intervention and social skills programs. Individuals with Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Autism and other diagnoses deserve your support. We are passionate about growing community and a sense of belonging. I’m grateful to have your trust in providing essential and exceptional care to these families. Join our mission in advancing the independence, productivity, and full citizenship of children and adults with disabilities and medical conditions.
