She was eager to participate in our physical therapy fitness program, speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, and the Rich Kempster Swim Program (RKSP). It was in the pool that Sasha found her passion. There, she discovered mobility, speed, and ease in a way she hadn’t experienced on land.
After completing RKSP, she moved on to join the Special Olympics organization as a new athlete in both swimming and softball!
