About Mary`s Children:
Mary’s Children is in session from 9:30am until 3:30pm, Monday
through Friday. Our morning activities consist of group and
individual activities to encourage physical movement and social
interaction. Afternoon activities are cognitive in nature and are
carefully planned to suite the functional ability
level of our clients from day to day.
Who we serve:
As family and friends of those with brain
injuries, we know that medical care has advanced to the point that
babies with cerebral palsy and children and adults with brain
injuries are surviving to live a normal life expectancy. In a good
percentage of cases, there are residual problems depending on the
area of the brain that is affected. These problems vary from memory
loss to paralysis. When only part of the brain is involved and the
rest is unaffected, it often leads to limitations and frustrations.
When the injured areas cause obvious symptoms, joining “normal”
society becomes difficult, if not impossible. In addition, returning to
jobs and spouses is not considered “realistic” by society either.
What we have then is a group of survivors of brain damage who
have worked hard to become normal, only to be rejected by our
society.
Because brain injury usually results in family disruption, there is a
great need for caring and supportive communities where families
can work together to help their brain injured spouse or child reach
their full potential, and where they can learn to
accept that “full potential” as a gift from God,
even if society considers it less than “quality life”.
At Mary’s Children we offer the caring and
supportive community that your loved ones need
and deserve. We work with your loved ones to help them improve
their quality of life, their self esteem, and their confidence, giving
them the support they need to participate and enjoy every day life.
