The Hoover Therapeutics EXPLORE program is falling into this fall season. September was a busy month!
🎉Celebrated 2 participants' and 2 staff members' birthdays.
📰Started collecting newspapers for The Greater Birmingham Humane Society, which will be delivered in October.
⛺️Went to Camp Ascca where we participated in everything from arts and crafts, ziplining, tailgate party, boat rides, and so much more.
🧪We also had a field trip to the McWane Science Center, 🚶 went hiking at Moss Rock, 🏐 started playing volleyball, and held our Family night out event.
One of our participants helped us celebrate Hispanic Heritage month along with the City of Hoover by teaching us the numbers and colors in Spanish.
⚽️ We also held a small soccer game within the program.
🩹 This month we also learned about first aid, including the importance, when it is needed and where to find the supplies in an emergency.
🍂 Therapeutics is ready to see what the fall season has in store.

Therapeutics said goodbye to summer, and hello to Fall with our Welcome Back Bash.
