Servicing NYC and Long Island
When a person with developmental disabilities needs OT, PT, speech therapy, counseling, or psychiatric services, you want a clinic that specializes in treating people with special needs.
That’s why Hamaspik’s Article 16 Habilitative Clinic focuses on just that. We work on maintaining and improving daily living skills like eating, dressing, safety, and behavior regulation with the goal of fostering as much independence as possible.
Participants must meet these criteria to apply for this service via Hamaspik of Kings County.
Rochelle, one of our dedicated therapists, was determined to give Shana,* her nonverbal client, the ability to express herself. Rochelle worked tirelessly to get Shana set up with a Lingraphica device — obtaining approval, procuring the device, and setting up the software.
The results were transformative for Shana and her family, and so gratifying for the therapist! With the device in hand, Shana soon began to express her thoughts and feelings for the very first time, profoundly impacting and improving her quality of life.
"Hamaspik's vision comes to life every day. Seeing this passion and drive inspires me tremendously and gives me so much pride to be part of the team.”
