We discovered TBC when Bentley was just 4 months old. Feeling defeated and lost, TBC welcomed us in and gave us HOPE!! They became a family who loved B and wanted her to succeed as much as we did!! When other “typical” child care facilities did not know how to best provide for B, TBC stepped up to the plate! They replicated crazy expensive therapy tools that were beneficial for a deaf and blind child!  We knew from day one that The Bell Center was a special place!! 

The Bell Center is dedicated to maximizing the potential of children from birth to three years of age who are at risk for developmental delay.The staff of The Bell Center begins the work of maximizing a childs potential as soon as the child is evaluated. This evaluation assesses a childs strengths and weaknesses across five developmental domains: gross motor, fine motor, expressive and receptive language, cognition and emotional/social. From this assessment, each member of the childs transdisciplinary team develops goals in each area specific to that child.The Bell Center follows a transdisciplinary approach to providing early intervention services. This allows all areas of the childs development to be targeted every time they are at The Bell Center. Through this frequent targeting of developmental goals comes success as goals are achieved. As one goal is mastered, the next appropriate goal is is targeted, ensuring that the child is always striving to maximize their potential.

What most people don’t know is that having a special needs child is CRAZY expensive! All the therapy, doctors and tools needed will deplete a family’s finances fast! The Bell Center is different! The therapy is very affordable!! They are not state funded so most of their money comes from two fundraisers, one being this race (Mercedes)! I get chills just thinking about the potential of everyone gave just $10:)!!  We’d love your support as we run for Bentley and to honor all the children at The Bell Center!!

Thank you for your love and support!!

Lindsay, Justin, Bentley & Ally:)
