The Sensory Learning Center is held in the sensory gym pictured to the right, including a ladder, monkey bars, hook ups for various swings, and endless gross motor equipment. Sammy was the co-creator and occupational therapist leading a similar group in New York City for over 2 years. During that time, over 10 children participated in the program, learning essential fine and gross motor, sensory and social skills to effectively join and participate in a preschool program the following year.
