The Chautauqua Center, Inc. is proud to announce that its Chautauqua Physical and Occupational Therapy Pediatric Rehab Department has secured grant funding to provide and utilize high-quality pediatric therapy toys as tools for early intervention and preschool home visits. These tools will enhance occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT), and speech-language pathology (SLP) services, ensuring young children receive critical developmental support within their home environments.

Thanks to a generous grant from The Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, The Chautauqua Center, Inc. was able to acquire more than $2,000 worth of broad-ranged, specialized therapy toys. These tools are designed to improve motor skills, sensory development, communication, and overall growth in young children. Our dedicated therapists will utilize these toys during home visits, implementing engaging and effective strategies to help children achieve their full potential.

“We are incredibly grateful for this funding, which enables us to deliver high-quality therapy resources directly to the homes of children who need them most,” stated Susan Green, Pediatric Rehab Supervisor. “Early intervention is vital to a child’s development, and these tools will significantly impact their progress and future success.”

“We are pleased to be able to support this project through our General grant opportunity that is intended to meet emerging needs.” Stated Elizabeth Jones, Community Impact Officer at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation. “By helping expand the supply of therapeutic toys for home visit bags, we’re ensuring that more children and families have access to the tools they need to support meaningful progress through occupational, physical, and speech therapy.”
