Therapize Programs and Events

Quiet Visits With Santa
​​Therapize has created a soothing experience where children with sensory issues get to take part in a holiday tradition. These kids could never endure the loud noises and crowds of a mall or other public setting. In seven years we have hosted more than 230 children in what has already become a Wilmington holiday tradition.
Music with Arndt
​
​In a Therapize supported event, Parents and children of all abilities can make sweet music together!

Soccer Shots​
​
We team up with our friends at Soccer Shots each year to fund a series of classes. We believe that sports belong to everyone and that each child should know the thrill of succeeding in competition.

Dog Days
​​​
Each year, Therapize teams up with Carolina Canines and introduces their dogs to our kids. There is something about the bond between animals and children. Children, who oftentimes have a hard time connecting with humans, will open up to something fluffy and furry if it’s sitting on their lap. Many of the children who showed up came armed with a book and read a story to their new friends.

Haircuts and Hayrides
​
This event takes place on a farm. We try to schedule this event around the start of the School Year. Local hairstylists volunteer to come out on a Saturday to trim the heads of children who cannot sit in a traditional setting.

Chance to Dance
​
​Pink Slipper Academy hosts monthly dance classes in The Hive at the Clinic. These are Adaptive ballet classes for individuals with varying special needs.
