The Joshua Center is a non-profit organization that provides services and support for the social, emotional, and educational needs of neurologically impaired children and their families, including children with Tourette Syndrome, High Functioning Autism, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder and ADHD. This year Camps for Kids is matching $17,000! Every dollar you donate will be matched up to $1,500. Please take a moment to help change a child’s life by donating now. The Joshua Center therapists offer personalized services customized to meet individual needs and circumstances. Our therapy services address both the needs of the individual and the needs of the family as a whole. Occupational Therapy helps people engage in everyday activities (or occupations) to the best of their ability. Whether it’s eating, sleeping, working, dressing, academics, playing, socializing or participating in leisure activities, our ability to participate and engage fully in these dailyactivities can have a major impact on our overall quality of life. This year we are offering the parents the opportunity to sell Yankee Candles to offset the cost of camp. This is a great fundraiser and you can pick up a packet at the office OR you can set up online! 40% of all you sell will be applied to your child’s camp fee! Give us a call with any questions. The Joshua Center for Neurological Disorders wants to reward a special teacher who has made a difference in a child’s life. The winner will receive an award, recognition on our website for a year and a complete set of the Joshua Center “Me and My World™ Social Skills Board Games and Curriculum” for his or her school.
