A new year brings us the opportunity to reflect and make positive changes in our

transcends? Make supporting children with disabilities your selfless act of love.

At the Children’s Rehabilitation Institute TeletonUSA (CRIT), we witness how small
acts of solidarity can have an extraordinary impact on the lives of our patients and
their families. Here’s how you can make a difference and why this purpose can
transform multiple lives.

Why supporting a cause is a transformative purpose.

When you support a cause, you’re not just helping those in need but nurturing
values like empathy, generosity, and gratitude. You’re also building a more
inclusive world filled with hope for children with disabilities.

Regardless of size, every donation to CRIT becomes a powerful tool to provide
therapies, treatments, and moments of joy to children and families facing immense
challenges every day.

Let’s make this year count—for someone else.

Jameson is a bright and determined 7-year-old boy with a rare neurological condition called
Landau-Kleffner Syndrome. At CRIT, he receives a variety of therapy services, and his team
couldn’t be prouder of his incredible progress and unwavering dedication!
Jameson’s therapy journey began in early 2024 with Recreational Therapy. Together with his
therapist, he has worked tirelessly to improve key skills, including attention to tasks, turn-taking,
social and communication skills with peers and therapists, transitioning between activities, and
emotional regulation. Week after week, Jameson tackles new challenges with a big smile, showing
resilience and enthusiasm every step of the way.
Soon after, Jameson started Speech Therapy to enhance his communication skills and speech
clarity (how well he speaks and is understood). He’s made steady progress, focusing on improving
his breath support and awareness to communicate more effectively.
Most recently, Jameson began Physical Therapy, where he’s working to strengthen his balance and
coordination. His creative spirit shines through as he turns exercises into fun games and activities.
Jameson is a fun-loving, imaginative child with a passion for Super Mario Brothers, playing board
games like Don’t Break the Ice, and memory or flash card games. He loves singing silly songs,
blowing bubbles, and popping them just as quickly!
Since starting his journey at CRIT, Jameson has made remarkable strides, and 2025 promises even
greater growth for this inspiring young star.
This and other success stories are made possible thanks to the support of thousands of generous
individuals—just like you! Your kindness and commitment help children like Jameson achieve their
dreams and reach their full potential.
