About Amy Kwalwasser

What We Help You Do. Gezoont’s focus is to help those with special needs find and schedule therapies and activities. Gezoont has an online directory of providers who welcome those with special needs, disabilities, injuries, long-term needs, temporary needs, aging concerns, neuro-differences, and, well, anyone. We also have ratings and reviews to help you narrow your search. We believe finding services and therapies for all can be so much easier. Who We Serve. Gezoont is for anyone whether you have a special need or not. We are here to make health and wellness – including play and education – easier to find, discover, and schedule. Where would you look for an occupational therapist? Search the internet, ask your doctor, ask a friend? Inclusion? Inclusion means welcoming people of all abilities. At Gezoont, inclusion also means that the providers are committed to making their services available – to those with or without a special need, neuro-difference, or other ability difference. Is Gezoont for anyone? Yes. Any age and anyone. The Gezoont directory is inclusionary which means the providers have a commitment and often a specialty in helping those who have special needs or disabilities. What a welcoming perspective for all of us. What if I can’t find what I need? Gezoont is growing! Check back regularly. As we build Gezoont, we add providers to the directory and ratings and reviews increase. Why the focus on special needs? Special needs means different things to different people. At Gezoont, the focus is on being inclusive and inclusionary. In the U.S, the numbers tell the story. Approximately 15% of children have special needs, 1 in 5 adults has a mental illness – that’s 45 million, 40% of seniors have a disability (over 12% of the population), and 40 million Americans have a disability. These conditions can be limiting, even debilitating and isolating - medically, socially and financially. Note: Gezoont.com is under construction.
