Playdates remain a core group activity for SBDSA members. They are an opportunity to mingle, share tribal knowledge, and have a lot of fun doing it in an organized and constructive environment that recruits Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists and Speech Therapists who volunteer their time on behalf of individuals with Down syndrome.
SBDSA strives to organize Playdates on a month-to-month basis, and has done so successfully since June 2009. To that end, we have been extremely fortunate to find a home for this activity at Kids In Motion, of Torrance, California, under the direction of Marcie Rhee, DPT, PCS. Dr. Rhee and her staff have been gracious and enthusiastic about Playdates at Kids In Motion, and for that we are forever thankful.
The same can be said for a number of entities, organizations and/or individuals that donate their space, time and/or expertise to SBDSA on behalf of the playdate concept. All have been amazingly gracious and enthusiastic, and with that in mind, we wanted to acknowledge many of them here, in alphabetical order:
Jessica Baer, CCC SLP
Silke Hamilton, OTR/L, SWC, ATP
Megan Macleod, MPT
Napa Center
SuperKids – Gymnastics, Dance, Cheer, Yoga & Parties.
