Empowering all Students to Thrive!
(Coming soon to Phoenix, AZ)
Blooming Cactus Academy is committed to helping all students thrive, regardless of their physical and intellectual abilities. We welcome students of any race, color, and background, both typically-developed and orthopedically challenged. Our goal is to create a supportive community where all students can reach their full potential. Finding Solutions Together
No parent ever plans to raise a child with special needs. Our journey began unexpectedly and without any prior anticipation. Caring for a child with multiple orthopedic challenges can be overwhelming and arduous. From frequent medical visits to therapy sessions, and the constant worry about their well-being, particularly in school, it can become all-consuming. We often found ourselves feeling anxious and frustrated.
We sought a solution; a way to improve our quality of life while navigating the challenges of raising a child with special needs.
Unlocking Full Potential
Throughout our journey, we have encountered a diverse range of treatments and therapies that have been instrumental in managing our son's various medical conditions. We have compiled a comprehensive list of these treatments - detailing their efficacy and limitations - as we strongly believe that it is essential to remain proactive in our pursuit of better outcomes, given the unique adaptivity of each individual's body.
We strongly advocate for an open line of communication between caretakers, to facilitate the sharing of knowledge, ideas, and innovations in the field of medical treatment. This approach can help us remain informed of the latest technologies, procedures, and therapies available, which are instrumental in achieving better outcomes for our loved ones.
Learning from Each Other
There have been many organizations and individuals who have helped us along this journey. The organizations who gave us guidance and direction when we were very confused and didn’t know what to do. The super parents who freely shared their wisdom and knowledge in therapies, medical procedures, school choices, etc. It would’ve been near impossible for us to navigate without the support over the years. We want to share the same experiences with the community. Be there for each other and strengthen each other for that next step in the journey.
“The Watt family is simply amazing! They've been such wonderful advocates for their son and other families in the special needs community, going above and beyond to support and uplift those around them. Their kindness and dedication are truly heartwarming and inspiring!"
- Priscilla and Richard Hundley, Friends and Pastors
