M O R G A N PROJECT INC

Four core programs are currently in place within The M.O.R.G.A.N. Project:

1. Pediatric Equipment Exchange Program - specialized pediatric adaptive medical equipment and supplies are made available to families who would otherwise be unable to obtain the equipment necessary for the safe care of their medically fragile child;

2. Parent Resource & Informational Pamphlet Program - having identified caregiver support as an essential need, we have compiled an extensive resources database for the parent that has just been told that they will now be a lifetime caregiver for their child. Accessible free of charge off of our website, with direct links to hundreds of other organizations that provide funding, products and services to families of special-needs children that we do not provide, along with a printed companion pamphlet;

3. Morgan's Place - our one-of-a-kind recreational/therapeutic option for families in Brevard County that focuses directly on the sensory functions of their child with special health care needs. Our state-of-the-art wireless indoor Sensorium and outdoor Garden Sensorium both offer a multitude of wirelessly activated sights, sounds, smells, movement and touch equipment specifically designed for children of all abilities to utilize. Our Tech Zone offers accessible technology hardware and software for these children through touch-screen devices and specialized programs for educational opportunities. Our Vestibular Swing Room offers accessible movement and exercise activities. Children with special needs have different abilities than typically developing children, but still need to have a safe place for socialization, exercise and educational opportunities;

4. Family Education Seminars Program - our medical education program for families of recently diagnosed special-needs children, with topics ranging from health and wellness to financial planning and everything in-between, as well as providing a networking tool for the parents of children with special health care needs in Brevard County.

MORGAN'S PLACE - OUR ONE-OF-A-KIND RECREATIONAL/THERAPEUTIC OPTION FOR FAMILIES IN BREVARD COUNTY THAT FOCUSES DIRECTLY ON THE SENSORY FUNCTIONS OF THEIR CHILD WITH SPECIAL HEALTH CARE NEEDS.

PARENT RESOURCE & INFORMATIONAL PAMPHLET PROGRAM - HAVING IDENTIFIED CAREGIVER SUPPORT AS AN ESSENTIAL NEED, WE HAVE COMPILED AN EXTENSIVE RESOURCES DATABASE FOR THE PARENT THAT HAS JUST BEEN TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOW BE A LIFETIME CAREGIVER FOR THEIR CHILD.

QUALITY OF LIFE ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM - ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE FAMILIES WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF SUPPORTS (SUPPORT/MEDICAL CONFERENCES, ADAPTIVE BATH CHAIRS, SHOWER TROLLEYS, POSITIONAL SEATING, ETC. ) - THINGS THAT INSURERS DO NOT CONSIDER "MEDICALLY NECESSARY" BUT CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE QUALITY OF THEIR LIFE. WE HAVE PROVIDED SEVERAL DOZEN FAMILIES WITH ADAPTIVE CAR SEATS, FOLDING WHEELCHAIRS, ADAPTIVE BATH SEATING DEVICES AND OTHER SPECIALIZED MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AS WELL AS OFFERING THE MEANS TO ATTEND A DIAGNOSIS SPECIFIC FAMILY SUPPORT CONFERENCE IN ORDER TO LEARN FROM OTHER PARENTS THAT HAVE "BEEN THERE, DONE THAT" OVER THE PAST 14 YEARS.
