HMS School for Children with Cerebral Palsy

At HMS, physical therapy is always part of the school day!

Here’s Ben, all smiles on the Rody Horse, working on trunk strength, motor skills, and leg movement with support from one of our incredible interns.

Therapy that feels like play? Yes, please! 😊

Last week, our Student Government Association, led by Special Education Teachers Alexis and Kate, supported students in leadership elections.

Our curriculum promotes civic engagement and real-world skills.

While we tally votes, enjoy these photos of our voting security, Amir!

Our Board Chair, Becky, joined one of our classrooms this week for an afternoon of learning, play, and smiles with our students!

We’re so grateful to have such a hands-on leader who truly values building connections within our HMS community.

#InclusiveEducation

This week in Recreational Therapy, our students took charge in the kitchen, using a Powerlink and switch to run the food processor and turn fresh apples into homemade applesauce!

We previously shared Helena’s impactful speech at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s 46th Annual Conference on Developmental Disabilities.

Now, we’re excited to highlight her feature in The Swarthmorean.
