Guest speakers including board members from Charleston Miracle League and the PlayToday! Foundation, along with City of Charleston representatives, will discuss the positive impact the TherapyPlay! Module will have on the community. Special needs community leaders, volunteers, and Charleston Miracle League players and families will also be in attendance at the groundbreaking celebration, which includes complimentary food and the opportunity to view architectural renderings of the TherapyPlay! Module.
The unique design of the pioneering TherapyPlay! Module will provide an innovative playground for the special needs population, enabling a quality recreation experience for those with physical and mental challenges. Physical and occupational therapists will utilize the TherapyPlay! Module’s specially-created overhead support system to assist participants with mobility issues and a specialized ground surface for various beneficial therapies for those with special needs. The multi-functional design of the TherapyPlay! Module will also encourage interactive play between special needs individuals and their peers.
The TherapyPlay! Module will be constructed at a cost of $95,000 in approximately three months. The project, led by Hatton Contracting of Summerville, is expected to be complete prior to the Sept. 19 Opening Day of the Charleston Miracle League’s 2015 Fall Season.
Funds for the TherapyPlay! Module are being raised by the Charleston Miracle League and the Charleston-based PlayToday! Foundation, which works to enable quality recreational activities throughout the Lowcountry.
