The morning started early with a workshop at the Civitan Childrens Center. Â This is an great place where professionals assist children with special education needs prior to starting kindergarten and first grade. The room was filled with excitement as the students came into the room and took their seats on the floor.
After spending the morning with 5 year olds, we made a quick trip to the Red Skelton Theatre where we could watch part of the Inauguration ceremonies on the big screen. Â Unfortunately, we had to leave before the swearing in of Obama to head to the Good Samaritan Hospital for an inservice workshop with physical and occupational therapists there.
They were gathered in the therapy gym just inside the Physical Medicine wing. Â The therapists were a little skeptical at first about a magician teaching them a new treatment technique but, once they started learning the tricks, it was immediately evident that they saw the benefits for their clients.
I did an interview with a reporter from the Vincennes Sun Commercial newspaper. Â She said there would probably be an article in tomorrow’s paper about the workshops and providing details about the performances.
