Children’s Books |
Appropriate for birth – 12
New or gently used |
Parents and caregivers read to their children in the playroom while they wait for their therapy appointments. Sometimes we give a copy of the same book to both a foster parent and a natural parent; this allows the parents to call or facetime with the child and read a story together from two different homes. |

Art is a frequent tool used in therapy for families to process events and feelings. Often, children are able to express things through art that they cannot express in words.
Multiple sets are welcome of any listed item. Art supplies are often single-use items, so we have an ongoing need for supplies. |

| Client Supplies |
Bus Passes & Bus Tokens |
