Florida Elks
Children's Therapy Services (PDF)
"One of the resources that we found helpful was for occupational
and physical therapy. The service was offered by the Florida Elks
Children's Therapy Services. My daughter Samantha was able to
receive 6 months of service in our home for free. Samantha had
a great therapist and make wonderful progress. This service is
100% regardless of income or insurance. The only down side is
depending on what area you live in there is sometime a waiting
list to receive the services. We waited about 5 months."
