Center Fr.
Paul Zahler |
This program was established in 1974. Parents, desperate to find a program for their children turned to Fr. Paul, O.S.B., Ph.D., a Benedictine priest who initiated an adapted aquatics program. This revolutionary program for children with physical and mental challenges displayed tremendous results and was instrumental in developing a full fledged Child Development Program. Over the last thirty years, this program has resulted in remarkable breakthroughs for over three thousand children who sometimes came to the program as a last resort due to their challenging mental and physical conditions. This program is not only highly effective, but also extremely cost effective. This program offers development oriented activities such as swimming, horseback riding, sensory motor stimulation, education and integration, music, aerobics, and group sports. This program is rated as an exemplary program in the state of Oklahoma. Children are our future. Every child, irrespective of the difference in ability is a link in our common future. By helping their growth and development, we are investing in our common future. That is why child development involves all of us. With millions around the globe involved in child development in various ways, we share a great dream. Dream of a world in which every child gets the opportunity to attain optimum possible growth.
