Sara’s Garden offers amazing summer intervention programs for children with disabilities. These month-long programs deliver inclusive therapies that provide interventions for individuals with a variety of conditions and disabilities.
Our caring and experienced staff of licensed therapists, conductors and paraprofessionals create unique, intensive therapy-based programs that are tailored to the needs of each participant and are designed to enhance your child’s developmental skills. This approach not only helps your child to work towards greater independence, it also keeps the regression of skills and development that typically occurs over the summer months at bay.

Improving Interpersonal Skills:
- Relationship building
- Responding to his/her name
- Learning the names of peers
- Basic conversation skills
- Behavioral skill development
Improving Fine and Gross Motor Skills:
- Range of motion
