Introducing Tessa Trail, TTP's newest PT

Tessa Trail will be joining the TTP staff on Monday, January 3. With more kiddos being scheduled for our TheraSuit program, Savannah and Kelly needed some help. Tessa earned her doctorate in physical therapy from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences. Tessa impressed us with her knowledge and experience with many diagnoses, her warm personality, and her eagerness to work with and help children achieve their best. We can't wait for you to meet her!

December Fun...

On December 11, the Junior League of Columbia hosted a special holiday event for TTP and Family Connection families, complete with Santa Claus himself!

On December 14, TTP hosted an ornament decorating party!

Keep an eye on our social media and TTP Calendar for January outings! We're bringing back support groups and respite dates will be announced soon! TTP Family Events Calendar

Charlotte has arrived!

Jackie and husband, Justin, welcomed their first child, Charlotte Ruth Buckland, to the world on December 27. Charlotte weighed 6 pounds, 1 oz. Mom and baby are both doing well and we can't wait to meet baby Charlotte in person!

Jenna's baby is due January 5th so expect an announcement shortly for his arrival!

Thank you to all of the families who brought us donuts, bagels, cookies, bubbly, candy and so much more this holiday season! We appreciate each and every one of you and are thankful and blessed to know you!

We trust that each of you had a happy and safe holiday season! We're eager to get the new year kicked off right!

TTP received a grant from Aflac to start an after-school social and life-skills program. Please let us know if you are interested for your child - include your child's name, diagnosis, age, what you'd like him or her to work on in an afterschool program and anything else you think would be valuable for us to know in our planning phase. You can email us this info at info@thetherapyplace.org or speak to your child's teacher or therapist.

The Lipscomb Family Foundation provided a grant for us to continue our family support services! This grant helps pay for field trips, childcare, food & supplies. We hope to be hiring a new family support services coordinator very soon! In the meantime, Teresa Fleming and Brooke Grosh will be filling in the gaps.

Eastminster Presbyterian Church has awarded us a grant to purchase a LiteGait and specialized pediatric treadmill - both should be arriving soon to make your child's PT experience even better!

The City of Forest Acres has announced they will be our TITLE SPONSOR for this year's Miracles in Motion 5K Walk, Run & Roll Heroes Edition!

Thanks so much to so many of you, your friends, and family who made end of year donations! We will use these funds to provide scholarships and to improve & enhance our services!

HAPPY NEW YEAR from TTP!
