We are in the midst of Nurse Appreciation Week and we just wanted to thank all of our nurses for all they do for our students on a daily basis. The care you give allows our students to attend school daily no matter their medical diagnosis so they can participate fully with their peers. Thank you for all you do!

April is National Occupational Therapy Month. At our Maryvale and Green Acres Education Programs we are lucky to have caring, talented, and creative occupational therapists to help our students find their passion, purpose, and potential. Occupational Therapists are an important part of the education team, assisting students to learn skills that help them be successful during their school day. They do this by enhancing the students’ fine motor, visual motor, and sensory skills.
We appreciate our Occupational Therapists all year long but during OT month we like to give an extra thank you. Thank you to our amazing OTs: Lindsay, Ashley, Amanda, Lisa, Kristen, Kelly, Aimee, Ginny, Crystal, Eliza, Bob, Helen, and Angela! We appreciate your dedication and hard work to enhance our students lives

We are so thankful for all of our therapists in the The Arc Erie County Preschool and School Age Program. Thank you for helping our students to develop the skills they need for school and their every day lives.

The Arc would like to dedicate the week of February 7th through 13th to the
Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Language Pathologists and
Speech Therapists who make our agency incredible. Our therapists are made of
patience, understanding, good humor, hard work and diligence. They selflessly
devote their days to helping improve other people’s lives and always provide
invaluable, irreplaceable support. The efforts they put forth can mean all the
difference in the world for improving the health and happiness of the
individuals they work with. It is our deepest honor to celebrate and recognize
each and every Therapist at The Arc Erie County, and encourage all other staff members to extend their appreciation from the bottom of our hearts: Thank you Therapist Staff.
