Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting event for new therapy center for children with special needs

On July 12th, 2016, Intensive Therapeutics held it's Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting ceremony at the new West Caldwell Therapy Center located at 31 Fairfield Avenue, West Caldwell. This new center will provide occupational, physical and speech therapy services to children with special needs.

Scott Matthews, Executive Director of Intensive Therapeutics was accompanied by West Caldwell Mayor Joseph Tempesta, Jr., and Councilman Michael Docteroff in the official ribbon cutting. The scissors used in the ribbon cutting were appropriately "child-safety scissors".

After the ceremonies, a BBQ was held to recognize all the hard work done by family, friends and staff to make this new center a reality.
