October is National Physical Therapy Month! Our awesome physical therapists Betsy & Savannah make TTP such a fun place to be! When you see them this month, make sure to give them some extra love!

Check out our Calendar for all the exciting events this month!

We are hosting a

FAMILY PLAYDATE for our TTP families on Saturday, October 10th, from 10am - 12pm! The playdate (weather permitting) will be at the West Columbia Adaptive Playground. We are limiting to 10 families so we can practice safe social distancing! If you are interested in joining, please email Joye by Thursday, October 8th to confirm your spot. This will be first-come, first- served.

Thanks to the Junior League of Columbia for providing a safe & socially distanced, family-friendly Halloween event at Saluda Shoals Park on Sunday, October 18th from 2pm-4pm.

Families from Family Connection SC and The Therapy Place are invited but must RSVP to secure your spot and allow for planning.

Enter on the Bush River Road entrance and drive through for goodies and treats. You may choose to park and participate safely or you may stay in your car to receive your child's goody bag. Saluda Shoals amenities and inclusive playground will be available to those who would like to stick around after to use them. Costumes or festive attire is welcome!

When you sign, up please only count the children that will be in the car, NOT adults.

2nd Annual (Virtual) Miracles in Motion Walk, Run & Roll

5K or 1 Mile -- $25 includes tshirt (pickup or mailed)

Halloween is going to look A LOT different this year! Instead of going house to house to ask your neighbors for candy, ask them to join you in a socially-distanced walk around the block...1 mile, 5K, whatever feels right!

Invite your neighbors/friends/family and get out the wagons, for our 2nd Annual (Virtual) Miracles in Motion Walk, Run & Roll! Have fun by posting your pics on social media in your event t-shirts or wearing your costumes, and be sure to tag The Therapy Place with #MiraclesinMotion!

AND, the great thing about this race being virtual is we can include friends and family from across the country to help spread the TTP mission! Our goal is to have participants from all 50 states!! We have 12 so far at the time of this publication. Please help spread the word!

This year's 2nd Annual (Virtual) Miracles in Motion 5K Walk, Run & Roll is sponsored by our friends at:

The Therapy Place is so fortunate to have such high caliber professionals in all realms -- therapy, education, support and administration. As we continue to ebb and flow, changes are inevitable, and can even be unexpected. Most recently, one of our aides in the Bridges Therapeutic Preschool, Melissa Peeples, has joined our therapy division. Melissa is a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant and is excited to further utilize her skills and expand her time with TTP and our families by working as both a COTA and Bridges aide. We are so excited for this added role she now has on our team!

To learn more about Melissa and all the other incredible staff on the TTP team, please visit the TTP web site.

It's that time of year to show your FALL SPIRIT! Dress up with us the week of

October 26 - 30. Schedule of costumes is below:
