Kaitlyn is nineteen and has cerebral palsy. She started receiving treatment at the Children’s Centre when she was six months old, and her parents have nothing but praise for the Centre and its therapists.  Kaityln is well motivated and has now become a very independent young lady.  She was on the the honour roll throughout all her years in high school and is now completing her first year at Brock University with a scholarship in a Bachelor of Commerce Major Accounting Program.  At one time her parents weren’t even sure she would even be able to hold a spoon.

-UPDATED SEPTEMBER 26, 2011

Matthew was two and a half years old when he came to the Niagara Peninsula Children’s Centre. He had very limited mobility and was not even able to crawl let alone walk. In September of that year, he entered the pre school program and by June of the next year, with concentrated therapy, Matthew started to walk. He is now a very happy young boy with an amazing personality and enjoys many sports.

In September 2010, 67 youngsters with physical or communicative disabilities from across the Niagara Peninsula started classes at the NPCC School. 48 of these students were new. Why so many? Because miracles do happen at NPCC.  In June, 52 students, because of therapy they had received at NPCC and the school, had sufficiently advanced enough to be transitioned into the regular school systems in Niagara. These are just a few of many examples of how funds raised for the NPCC will result in a long term positive investment in bettering the lives of hundreds of Niagara’s children with special needs.
