🎨💙 It is WAY past due for us to show off this beauty!

We are so excited to finally share this AMAZING mural that was so generously gifted to us and created by Luckie Dawg Designs! 🥰

It features some of our favorite characters using adapted equipment, plus a built-in target that we can actually use to work on throwing and coordination skills! 🎯♿️

We absolutely LOVE how it brings so much color, fun, and personality to our therapy space—and even better, it celebrates kids of ALL abilities! 💙

A huge THANK YOU to Luckie Dawg Designs for this beautiful and thoughtful piece. It truly makes our space even more special! 🫶✨ Rhiannon Bell

Swimming is about so much more than kicking, strokes, and moving through the water. 💦 Water safety skills are swimming skills, too!

One skill we practice over and over in aquatic therapy is learning to FIND the side, REACH for it, and TOUCH it. ✋ For a child with special needs, this may take lots of repetition, physical guidance, and practice before it becomes an automatic response.

The goal is to build confidence, independence, and most importantly—SAFETY in and around the water. 💙

Every reach matters. Every repetition matters. Every skill builds toward greater independence. 💦

Some dresses are more than just dresses—they tell a story. 💛

Caroline’s special yellow dress is a beautiful reminder of love, strength, and seeing the world through her eyes.

If you’ve ever wondered about the story behind her yellow dress, we’d love for you to hear it in Caroline’s episode of the Grace in Motion Podcast.

💙 We hope you never need this resource.

But we also know many of our amazing kiddos are curious, adventurous, and sometimes a little like Houdini. Taking a few minutes now to prepare could make all the difference if the unthinkable ever happens.

We encourage our Grace in Motion families to take advantage of this opportunity and share it with others who may benefit. Being proactive is one of the best ways we can help keep our children safe.💙

We are committed to helping keep all members of our community safe, especially individuals with autism and other disabilities who may need additional assistance during an emergency.

Recently, a child with autism was found walking alone. Our responders worked to identify him and reunite him with his family, but this situation reminded us just how important it is for families to complete a Residential Premise Form and submit a current photo of their loved one.

Had we already had his information and photograph on file, we may have been able to identify him and reunite him with his family much faster.

The Residential Premise Form allows us to provide first responders with important information, including:

✔ A current photograph
✔ Communication needs
✔ Likes, dislikes, and calming techniques
✔ Behavioral considerations and triggers
✔ Wandering or elopement concerns
✔ Emergency contacts and caregiver information
✔ Other information that could help us during an emergency

This program is supported by Logan's Law, and the information is reviewed every six months to help ensure it remains current.

Please do not wait until an emergency happens. If you have a child or adult loved one with autism or another disability, we encourage you to complete a form and provide us with a current picture. Having this information available can make a critical difference when every minute matters.

We also ask that you please share this information with family members, friends, caregivers, teachers, support groups, and anyone you know who has a child or adult loved one with a disability. Help us get this information into the hands of the families who may need it most.

📩 To complete a Residential Premise Form or learn more, please contact:

A form and a picture may seem like a small thing, but during an emergency, they could help us identify your loved one and bring them home safely that much faster.

Accessibility matters. 💙 Thanks to the free beach chairs available to reserve at Gulf State Park, more families can experience the beauty of the beach together. Because everyone deserves to feel the sand, hear the waves, and make memories by the water. 🌊☀️♿
