    We believe<\/span><\/strong><\/i> in one environment for all. Children and adults with disabilities and those without should learn, work, and play together. This kind of inclusivity cuts across societal boundaries. It requires education to realize. With education; cultures, beliefs, behaviors, and standard practices can be changed. As a group of multidisciplinary experts; we teach, serve, and support persons with disabilities and those who support them. We practice inclusivity daily, and we work with everyone \u2014 families, caregivers, teachers, employers, friends, beneficiaries!<\/p>\n

    MAC\u2019s occupational therapy experts perform individual evaluations and make recommendations on children and adults that encourage independence. Recommendations include positive health activities that benefit persons with disabilities, their families, and their caregivers. These activities also promote health and address the negative effects of injury, illness, and disability. Our ultimate goal is to enable and empower our beneficiaries to acquire or regain skills. We support every individual in making physical and cognitive changes that allow for their maximum participation in school, employment, athletics, art, play and whatever else their heart desires.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>
