How lucky are we? Thanks to the generosity of these fine agencies and companies Bryan's House in Dallas has two new fantastic spaces to conduct their therapies for underserved children, that have social, emotional and physical challenges ages 0-5. They receive an onsite NAEYC accredited education, medical care and therapies daily at our facility, and this makes all the difference in their progress to learn, grow and play like other children their age.
"The renovations are valued at around $70,000, and Bryan's House is one of only seven special partnerships that Merlin's Magic Wand has in the United States - we are thrilled"-- Abigail Torres, CEO
Each space they designed and renovated is for a different therapy use -- based on a child's circumstance. Children we serve may be diagnosed with Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, MS, Epilepsy, AIDS/HIV impacted, Hearing Loss, Rhetts' Syndrome, Cystic Fibrosis, Leukemia, Heart Disease, Breathing or Stomach challenges and more. They need specific and professional care during the day and treatments (and EQUAL access to nurturing specialized care).
The SEA LIFE Room has been created for children that require a quiet space for play therapy. The Duplio Room is for physical, speech and occupational therapies - which are all conducted onsite. The children advance so much more quickly because of that access and concentrated therapy.
The floors for the spaces were provided by Dalworth Flooring, and the walls were designed and installed by Bubble, Inc. Furniture was donated by IKEA. Thank you everyone. Come and tour our agency and see the magic happen for yourself!
We are growing and Bryan' s House is seeking a Therapy Manager, who is also a speech pathologist or physical therapist. If you're interested please contact [email protected], for details.
