Matheny Of Peapack-Gladstone Invites Community To Learn About Its Therapy And Art Programs
Informal get-together will demonstrate how sports, technology and art can enhance quality of life for people with disabilities.
Have you ever raced in a power wheelchair? Communicated without talking? Painted without using your hands? Played basketball sitting down?
The Matheny Medical and Educational Center is inviting members of the Peapack-Gladstone community to find out how physical, occupational, speech, music, recreation therapy and art help improve the quality of life for its students and patients. The informal introduction to Matheny’s Therapy and Arts programs will be held from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday, November 2, in the Robert Schonhorn Arts center at Matheny, 65 Highland Ave., in Peapack. This event will include fun-filled, hands-on activities that are very children-friendly, so community members are encouraged to bring the entire family.
Matheny is a special hospital and educational facility for children and adults with medically complex developmental disabilities. Those planning to attend are asked to RSVP by calling (908) 234-0011, ext. 282, or emailing volu
