Mission Statement
Hugs From Sherilyn supports individuals who wish to pursue a career in pediatric therapy by granting scholarships and providing community outreach. We aim to cultivate patient, compassionate, knowledgeable and dedicated professionals in the fields of physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and feeding therapy. We wish for these talented caregivers to empower children, especially those with special needs, with the confidence to live fulfilling lives by triumphing over their unique adversities through physical, cognitive, and communicative enrichment and development.
