Physical Therapy

Each week, a licensed Nigerian physical therapist travels to Shield City center and works one-on-one with children on a physical therapy plan. 

We strive to provide our students with the opportunity to receive physical therapy to work on their development.  Our Nigerian physical therapist works with about 20 of our special needs children on a monthly basis. Examples of progress we have seen are: children being able to sit, walk and use their hands to play. For just $35 a month, you can cover our physical therapy program!

Play Therapy

Play is our favorite form of therapy at the center!  We love to help our kids be able to play inside or outside on the playground at the center.
