We are SO excited to welcome King and his mom, Danielle, to our Breakthrough Family! 💙

When Danielle reached out to us, she shared how much she wants for King to be able to sit up on his own, use both hands to play, and feel at ease throughout his day.

Right now, sitting is a challenge, which makes things like playing with toys and joining the family at the dinner table more difficult. More than anything, Danielle wants King to participate, explore, and feel comfortable in his own body.

Together, we’ll be working toward:

➡️ Sitting independently to help him engage more with his family
➡️ Strengthening his core, neck, and right side
➡️ Improving his ability to use both hands for play
➡️ Supporting his overall comfort and positioning

We are so excited and grateful to walk alongside King and Danielle on this journey.

We already know he is capable of amazing things, and we can’t wait to see all that he will accomplish!! 💙

Leave King and Danielle a warm welcome in the comments⬇️

With heavy hearts, we share that Breakthrough lost our very special boy, Chance, yesterday. 💙

Chance has been part of Breakthrough since the very beginning.

Over the years, he touched more lives than we could ever count. He showed up for our clients and families in the quiet, powerful ways only he could, offering comfort, joy, and unconditional love in every moment.

Chance was so much more than Breakthrough’s therapy dog. He was family.

From Santa Chance, to his famous face-licking greetings, to insisting on endless butt scratches; from dressing up for Halloween, to curling up on the couch with parents, to the release of the Chance the Therapy Dog book...he brought light, laughter, love, and connection into Breakthrough every single day.

We are incredibly grateful for the love you all gave him over the past 8+ years.

You welcomed, cherished, and loved him as your own, and he loved each and every one of you right back.

Chance will always be part of Breakthrough.

His presence, his spirit, and the love he gave so freely will live on in our hearts and in this community forever.

Thank you for loving our boy. 💙

Leo is ON FIRE 🔥

When Leo’s parents, Maria and Nico, first reached out to us, they shared that they want to see Leo build the strength and confidence to stand, take steps, and grow into as much independence as possible.

They knew he had so much potential… he just needed the right support to bring it out.

Just a little over 2 months into being part of the Breakthrough family, Leo is already CRUSHING IT 💪

We’ve been working on:

➡️ Walking on the treadmill to build strength and stepping patterns

➡️ Sit-to-stands to encourage weight bearing through his legs

➡️ Reaching and play in different positions to support balance and control

We are so proud of you! Your journey has only just begun and we can’t wait to see what will come due to the hard work that you bring to each session 💙

Our next in-person Sibshops is THIS SUNDAY! 💙

If you can’t make it this time, don’t worry…we’ve got more dates coming up ⬇️

Sibshops is something really special. It’s a space just for siblings where they can be around other kids who understand what their day-to-day looks like.

They get to:

➡️ Meet other siblings who just get it
➡️ Have fun, laugh, and just be kids
➡️ Talk and share in a space where they feel understood

If you’ve been thinking about it, we’d love to have your child join us.

Our Sibshops crew is always so welcoming! 💙

Charley just finished her intensive program with us and we couldn’t be more proud of this strong girl! 💙

Over the last three weeks, Charley has made these incredible improvements:

Improved posture & endurance ➡️ helping her stay upright and engaged with the world around her

Increased strength ➡️ supporting her ability to move with more control and stability

More intentional arm use ➡️ allowing her to reach, play, and support herself during activities

Enhanced motor planning ➡️ requiring less assistance with walking using her walker and transitioning from the floor to standing

Greater independence in mobility ➡️ giving her more freedom to explore her environment

Charley is stronger, more confident, and has shown us how much she’s capable of!! We can’t wait to see what she does next! 💙

This past Sunday, we hosted our annual Parent Wellness Day at Breakthrough 💙

We started the morning the best way we know how…with connection (and of course, bagels!)

From there, Kim led a peaceful, grounding yoga session, giving everyone a chance to slow down and be present.

Parents also got to enjoy relaxing massages from Issar, a licensed massage therapist!

This day is always so special to us.

It’s all about pouring back into our Breakthrough parents, the ones who give so much every single day by creating space to rest, reset, and simply breathe.

We’re so grateful to share moments like this together 💙

Wishing our very own, Kim, the happiest birthday yet! ❤️

Kim may have only started with us at the beginning of 2026, but it surely feels like she has been part of our team/family for much longer.

We are grateful for the passion that she brings each day and the love that she has poured out into others since day one.

Happy birthday Kim!

Charley has been putting in incredible work during her intensive program!

We’ve been focusing on:

➡️ More purposeful and equal arm use
➡️ Improved posture and increased postural endurance
➡️ Improved overall body control for positions and mobility

This is Charley’s final week of her program, and we are so excited to see her finish strong 💪

Let’s go, Charley!!! 💙

We had to jump on the “this is the one who…” trend 🤣

So obviously… here’s the Breakthrough edition

💙The one who shows up with unmatched Breakthrough spirit every single day

💙The one who somehow understands insurance AND makes sure everyone gets paid (not all superheroes wear capes)

💙The one who’s basically Breakthrough’s personal paparazzi and makes sure if it happened…it ends up on social media

💙The one who built Breakthrough from the ground up (no big deal)

💙The one who keeps Christine organized… which is a full-time job in itself 🤣

💙The one who turns every session into a mini concert

And of course…the one who requires at least three treats a day and still manages to nap on the job🤣

💚 Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month 💚

March holds deep meaning for our Breakthrough community.

So many of the incredible children, adults, and families we have the privilege of working with are part of the cerebral palsy community.

We get to know them for who they are: their personalities, their joy, their preferences, and the unique ways they move through and experience the world.

Cerebral palsy is the most common lifelong physical disability, affecting more than 1 million people in the United States and over 50 million individuals worldwide.

This reel is a small glimpse into our community, focusing on our clients with CP and celebrating who they are.

We are committed to creating spaces where every individual is supported, understood, and included exactly as they are 💚
