“I am confident of Cindy and Ailene’s intellect, their knowledge, their training, their abilities. But in the world of special needs – or in any area of life where you have big hurdles, what you need less of is a special pedigree and more of an innate attitude of “I believe in you”, “you can do it” and “I will help you succeed. Cindy and Ailene believed in my son, Angelfish Therapy is at the core foundation of a life filled with success and achievement and a celebration of a life of hurdles. Hurdles that are overcome, one day at a time! With love, appreciation and gratitude larger than ever imagined!”
Swim Whisperers Swim School
The Swim Whisperers Swim School provides private swim lessons for children with Autism, Physical Difficulties and sensory challenges. Specially trained Swim Whisperers instructors incorporate strategies to help children learn to swim faster and with less discomfort than traditional methods. These instructors use proven techniques to overcome the 14 most commonly seen roadblocks in teaching these children how to swim. Instructors spend time within each lesson addressing each child’s specific sensory obstacles with proven movement strategies.
“For the first time in his young life, Riley feels comfortable going underwater, and after all our struggles with years of traditional swim lessons, that is a very big deal for Riley and for me. You changed our lives, and I will never forget that …
So thank you. You are one-in-a-million, and what you have done for Riley will open the world for him in ways we can only imagine at this point.”
Angelfish Therapy
Angelfish Therapy offers private and semi-private 45-minute Aquatic Therapy sessions for children with a wide variety of special needs. Our licensed PT’s and OT’s work to improve each child’s motor skills, core strength, endurance, body awareness, motor planning, coordination and self-regulation. We are out of network providers.
“As a therapist for over 30 years, I have had many students who have participated in the Angelfish Program with remarkable results. Not only does their coordination for walking improve, but, the coordination for controlled breathing for speech production increases as well. Attention to tasks and endurance for active participation in longer therapy sessions increases the more that they stay with the Angelfish therapists. I highly recommend Angelfish to the parents of my patients and thoroughly enjoy working with Ailene and Cindy whenever I have the opportunity!”
