History
Our timeline:

April 2020- while sessions and visits were conducted online during the earliest part of Covid-19 pandemic, staff were busy converting the under-utilized classroom space into a multi-sensory environment (MSE) to aid in the healing and restoration of anxiety, ADHD, depression, the trauma-response, and to assist children who have indicators of ASD.
