Changing lives...
one step at a time.
Occupational Therapy
Focuses on helping children overcome difficulties with sensory impairment (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, balance, movement), and also teaching them to use their arms and hands in appropriate ways.
Physical Therapy
Involves teaching children how to overcome their physical disabilities so that they can participate in activities of everyday life and access their communities as independently as possible. We see a wide variety of physical limitations at the Center, which can range from a child who cannot even pick his head up, to moderate difficulties with balance and coordination, motions we take for granted every day.
Speech Therapy
Focuses on helping children learn to communicate and interact with others, use impaired muscles of the face and mouth area for essential functions such as eating and feeding, and overcome sensory issues of the mouth.
Aquatics
The aquatics program provides children the opportunity to experience the freedom of independent movement that they could not experience otherwise. The unique qualities of the water allow children to move safely without the limitations of gravity on their bodies. At the same time it also provides therapeutic benefits such as increased cardiovascular efficiency, increased balance reactions, coordination skills, increased lung function ( enhances speech and breathing ), and increase in strength and endurance. Therapeutic aquatics leads to life-time leisure sport for healthy living.
Hippotherapy
Hippotherapy (“therapy on horseback”) is a physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy tool that provides children with disabilities a combination of movement and sensory stimulation that enables improved function in their environments: home, school and community.
West Texas Dyslexia Center
The West Texas Dyslexia Center provides evaluation, one on one tutoring, and occupational therapy for children with dyslexia.
Enrichment Programs
Open gym
Allows our older clients (high school students) a chance to work out twice a week after school under the supervision of a physical therapist. This program provides them with an opportunity to develop a lifelong leisure skill, while also enjoying time to hang out with their peers and unwind after the school day.
Unlimited Dance Company
Children who participate in therapeutic dance practice one day each week during the school year, and perform in recitals in the spring and at Christmas. Like Open Gym, this program provides the kids with a chance to be with their peers, as well as an opportunity to work on strength, balance and coordination. Plus, our parents love to see their children perform and be the star of the show!
We are the World Camp
A collaborative program between MCRC, Midland Association for Retarded Citizens (MARC), and Bynum School. It is held at the Center in the summer for five week-long sessions as well as in the winter and spring for shorter sessions, consisting of one or two days.
