💧🎨 Colorful Water Play at the ABA Clinic 🌈

Water play is always a favorite—but when we add color, it becomes even more exciting! At the ABA Clinic, this sensory-rich group activity captures the attention of kids and promotes meaningful developmental growth.

🪣 Skills practiced include:
✨ Turn-taking
⏳ Waiting patiently
🤝 Social interaction
🎯 Sensory exploration

With a bit of color and a lot of fun, children stay cool while building essential skills that support their growth in and outside of therapy.

👏 Another creative way we turn play into progress at the ABA Clinic!

🥗 Delivering More Than Meals 🧡

Community service is at the heart of what we do at the AWE Center—and we’re proud to share that some of our Day Program participants are now giving back in a meaningful way through our partnership with Meals on Wheels!

Each week, clients help deliver meals to senior citizens and individuals with disabilities who are unable to shop or cook for themselves.

Through this hands-on experience, participants are not only supporting their community—they’re also:
🧠 Building daily living and communication skills
🤝 Practicing responsibility and reliability
❤️ Learning the value of empathy and connection

This initiative is a beautiful example of how inclusion, independence, and community service come together. We’re proud of our clients for stepping up and making a difference—one meal at a time. 🙌
