A special visit brought smiles and progress to Pediatric Rehabilitation!
When New England Revolution players visited Southcoast Health Pediatric Rehabilitation, the children saw soccer stars. Their care team saw opportunity.
Kicking a soccer ball became a way to practice movement and coordination. Learning the players’ names supported communication. And every successful pass helped build confidence.
That’s what happens every day at Pediatric Rehabilitation: play becomes progress. Six days a week, up to 150 children rely on therapy tools designed to make learning engaging and effective.
Help create moments of progress:
$10 provides crayons and art supplies.
$25 replenishes Play-Doh and sensory materials.
$50 replaces puzzles or therapy games.
$100 helps stock several treatment rooms.
