Gio's Garden is a nonprofit program that serves children with special needs from birth through age six. It operates as a center where youngsters can work toward therapeutic goals, while their families have the opportunity to take a break from the constant demands of caregiving. The organization currently provides more than 700 hours of care each month to over 75 children and subsidizes 60% or more of the service fee. Based in Middleton, Wisconsin, Gio's Garden relies on a multidisciplinary staff drawn from the disability field, including art therapists, recreational therapists, certified nursing assistants, special education para-educators, and graduate students studying occupational therapy, physical therapy, nursing, or speech-language pathology. It operates within the nonprofit sector, aiming to support families of young children with high needs by delivering therapeutic activities and related services that make care more manageable.
