Volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) Since 2002, MIP has done the following:

Therapeutic - MIP has granted hundreds of hippotherapy scholarships to date.

Hippotherapy, a therapeutic horseback riding program, has proven to be an effective tool in building physical strength, neuromuscular function, communication skills, confidence and more. Medical - MIP funded the production of (3) Universal Exercise Units that are used in conjunction with the TheraSuit® program here in Illinois. The TheraSuit® program is an intense program that employs a specially designed bodysuit and a Universal Exercise Unit that operates on a “weight and pulley” system to conduct strength and movement exercises. Educational - We have funded subscriptions to MUMS Newsletter, Palaestra and Cerebral Palsy magazine reaching hundreds of Illinois’ families touched by a brain injury. These resources offer invaluable information and provide a networking system that helps to locate others who have similar conditions. We also offer advocate services to those who need support. Recreational - MIP Pool Pals began in 2002. With the help of our volunteers, children with brain injuries and other special needs reap the benefits of aquatherapy while splashing around and having fun with their families and friends. Also, we are proud to be a partner in the first boundless playground which is fully accessible to all and is the first to open to the public in the Chicagoland area. Additionally, we offer scholarships for many different recreational programs. Alternative Medical - MIP never stops looking for new ways to help! We have granted scholarships for suit therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and most recently, we have granted several scholarships for special needs yoga. “Yoga for the Special Child ” is a program which includes balanced yoga poses to increase body awareness, strength, flexibility, improved breathing, relaxation and concentration in children with brain injury. Support MIP supports Sibshops which provides an opportunity for siblings of those with special needs peer support and education within a recreational context. Sibshops focus on the siblings since they are the family members most likely to have the longest-lasting relationship with the person with special needs. It is a celebration of special siblings touched by brain injuries and other special needs. Remember Miracles happen...with your help...
