Today we honored the first-ever Turn Center Bold Star, Chase Young! This peer-nominated award was created to recognize staff members who embody Turn Center’s values, go above and beyond in their role, demonstrate innovation and teamwork, and create meaningful impact. 🌟

If you’ve met Chase, you know his passion. When he isn’t inside the clinic living out our mission, he is sharing stories with people on the outside! He’s always smiling and works hard every day to better himself so that he can better serve his patients. We’re lucky to have him, and we’re honored to recognize him! 💙

Say hi to Addie! Our Outpatient OT Lead is a skilled therapist, a fun friend, and a go-getter… not to mention she’s a pro when it comes to our many dress-up days. 💪🤩

“I love using the parachute! Taking things back to elementary school PE - it’s a nostalgic activity that targets crucial developmental skills like bilateral coordination, hand strength, and grasping,” Addie said.

She also offers this advice to parents: “Provide your child with the opportunity to attempt an activity before offering assistance. For example, getting dressed. Sometimes more is less, and who knows? They might be able to do more than you think!”

Say hi to Chase! He’s passionate about giving every child a voice, whether through verbal speech or an alternative device. 💙🗣️

Chase’s favorite activity doesn’t require any toys or equipment - just love and time from a caregiver. “These are called People Play activities,” he explained. “They require the parent to build routines using sounds and words with their child through playing with them. This could be simple like tickles or peek-a-boo, or even something more complex like ‘Superman’ when the parent lies on their back on the floor and holds the child up with their legs or feet.”

Ericca, you’re a star! 🤩 Fun fact: this sweet Speechie was Holly’s student. She fell in love with Turn Center and we were lucky to snag her three years ago when she graduated!

“My favorite therapy toys are character figurines,” she said. “Things like Mickey Mouse or superheroes work on increasing vocabulary, verbs, exclamatory words, and pretend play!”

Esther is 14 and comes to Turn Center for speech therapy as she works hard to overcome severe apraxia, a condition where her brain knows what she wants to say, but her mouth has trouble making the words come out. Speaking takes effort. Writing takes patience. But she loves expressing her thoughts, and her poem, “I Can’t Fly,” reflects her courage and hope.

This Giving Tuesday, your support helps kids like Esther find their voice, build confidence, and discover what’s possible.

Ether’s poem:
I can’t fly if I can’t speak.
If I can’t fly I will be left behind.
I will fly. I will speak.
I will not be left behind.
I will learn how to fly.
I will learn how to speak.
And if I can, you can too.

Some journeys need the right environment to unfold. For Brock, the water became a place where frustration softened, and connection had room to grow. Now he’s discovering new words, new confidence, and a whole new way to communicate.

When you give during The Panhandle Gives, you help create more moments just like this, calm places where kids can thrive.
