Therapize is headquartered in Wilmington. Our mission is to develop and coordinate therapeutic programs that are poorly funded and/or unavailable to children in our community. We work with all special needs children and their families with a concentration on kids on the Autism Spectrum.
​
In 2015 Dr. Karen Harum and the staff of a Clinic for Special Children teamed up with journalist Doug Wahl to launch the area's first Quiet Visits with Santa program!

Quiet Visits with Santa
Therapize started with one simple idea, Quiet Visits with Santa for children with sensory needs. This one idea, just one program, showed us that if we work together for children, they can thrive - no matter their abilities!
​
Research
As a Neurodevelopmental Pediatrician of more than 20 years, founding MD, Karen Harum, has experienced the urgent need for more aggressive research for children with Special Needs. With decades of research already complete, Therapize and Dr. Harum aim to publish the research and propel forward with new research to help heal and restore wellness and quality of life for children and their families.
