Refresh was at the Los Angeles Marathon.

The marathon was inspired by the success of the 1984 summery Olympic Games hosted in Los Angeles, and has become one of the largest marathons in the country with more than 25,000 participants, thousands of volunteers, and hundreds of thousands of spectators.

The USC Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy (USC Chan) continues a faculty practice model at Momentum with our pediatric services. This unique partnership ensures that Momentum grows as a respected center of clinical excellence by leveraging the expertise and knowledge mobilization capabilities of USC Chan faculty members.

The theory behind Sensory Integration is that through completing tasks that have a high sensory involvement; the senses, body and mind will automatically form an interconnection and thus learn how to interpret the responses it receives from the activity.

Our sensory-integrated services continue to make a lasting impact on the lives of children and families. Our faculty-practice model makes it the only pediatric clinic of its kind aligned with the number 1 ranked Occupation Therapy School in the country. See More

Camp Escapades begins Monday! Momentum’s Camp Escapades is an innovative summer day camp that offers children with special needs a traditional and fun camp experience that is inclusive of their needs.

Since its establishment in 1998, Camp Escapades has been providing a summer camp experience for children with developmental disabilities who might not otherwise have the opportunity to do so. Our camp is staffed with occupational, physical, or speech therapists, program assistants, paraprofessional educators, and one-on-one teen volunteers who are the child’s “buddies” throughout the week. See More

Camp activities take place in a safe, encouraging environment and are geared and adapted so every camper can have fun regardless of age or ability. Learn More
