Nothing beats a day at the beach with an incredible cause!!! 🌊☀️🏄🏽‍♀️

We’re so thankful to have been part of such an inspiring day filled with smiles, teamwork, and unforgettable memories! Already looking forward to next year!💙🏄🏽‍♀️🌊

💡Innovation doesn’t have to be high-tech!
Our Pediatric PT II students designed creative low-tech adaptive supports and equipment modifications using everyday materials. Their teamwork, creativity, and clinical reasoning were on full display as they developed practical solutions to support participation and function.
