Launch
In 2016, Rokeiya made the move to Houston, TX where she began working as an independent contractor performing individualized treatments with kids, adolescents and adults. This further developed her background with individuals affected by developmental disorders such as but not limited to: cerebral palsy, spina bifida, autism and down syndrome.
Rokeiya has always had a passion for helping others. In 2019, she decided to start her own contracting company. Embrace Therapy was created to be a catalyst for other therapists to have a greater impact in the lives of their clients. We give therapists the opportunity to improve and influence the lives of others via recreation. Rokeiya hopes to continue to utilize recreational therapy to promote inclusion and empower individuals with special needs.
