We’re lit up with appreciation for our volunteers and partners! The Heritage Community Clinic’s first pantry of 2026 was a success due to those who spent their evening helping us set up and assisting our pantry visitors. None of this would be possible without you all.

Massive shout out to our partners .ohio.foodbank for supplying us the food resources to feed the community, and to .seo for providing transportation to anyone who needed it.

Research study opportunity!

Research Opportunity, Ohio University IRB # FY25-599

Why Participate?
Researchers at Ohio University are evaluating the feasibility and acceptability of physical therapy delivered online through telerehabilitation. Through surveys and outcome measures, we will be able to identify if physical therapy delivered online is feasible for parents of children with developmental delays.T his may help to develop targeted interventions for children with developmental delays or disabilities.

Eligibility
We are seeking parents or guardians of a child who…
✔ Is between 0-3 years old
✔ Has a developmental delay, or is at risk for a developmental delay
✔ Has access to the internet in order to complete the physical therapy intervention

What to Expect
Parents or guardians enrolled in the study will complete an 8-week home-based intervention with their child that is directed by a Physical Therapist via Telerehabilitation. Developmental testing will occur before and after the intervention. Parents will also be asked to share their thoughts about the intervention through an interview led by a researcher.

Time and Location
- 3 Study Visits (pre-post-intervention) that will last about 2 hours. Participants will be compensated $100/visit.
- The study visits can occur at the home of the child or at Ohio University
- The intervention will take place 2x/week for 8 weeks online via Microsoft Teams
- Interviews may take place online or in-person. Participants will be compensated $100.
