WHAT CAN A
SCHOLARSHIP DO?
On behalf of Aaron Duda and his family and also our entire team at Therabeat Inc., we want to say thank you for the scholarship that you awarded to Aaron. From his music therapist, Ms. Chelsea Kinsler: “Aaron loves learning to play guitar and sing Old McDonald using picture cue cards! He is learning to request items he wants and is working on articulation during singing! We could not be more thankful for your scholarship that has allowed Aaron to continue music therapy.” Here is a picture of Aaron learning how to play guitar! Thank you, Anchor of Hope!!!

Thomas has sensory seeking behavior, inability to regulate, auditory processing difficulties, poor postural position, poor fine motor skills, and poor motor planning.
Thanks to the help from the Anchor of Hope scholarship, Thomas began ABA therapy, interventions for when he is dysregulated, and further assistance with his feeding difficulties. I now have a toolbox full of interventions for meltdowns and moments of dysregulation. I know to limit the number of choices available to him and how a social story is vital to his day. More importantly, Thomas learned what to do when he feels angry or has big feelings. He has increased moments of self regulation and has a much increased emotional vocabulary. Finally, the use of an integrated listening system has drastically increased his ability to tolerate accessory noise which I believe has been the biggest contributor to his successful start to kindergarten. - Thomas' Mom
