Comprehensive Therapy Center Legacy Dinner

Since 1982, Comprehensive Therapy Center (CTC) has helped neurodiverse

children get the therapy they need to walk, talk, learn, and play. We use a holistic,

play-based approach that includes resources and activities for families to feel

confident and involved in all areas of their child’s growth. Much of this is done

through our summer program, Therapy & Fun. While the primary goal of Therapy

& Fun is to help children with disabilities keep up with therapy goals during the

summer, the program's impact extends to their families and communities.

At the event, we will be honoring 3 people who have significantly impacted our

organization:

Jan Wilks joined Comprehensive Therapy Center (CTC) in 1990 working

as the Activity Coordinator for the Therapy and Fun (T&F) program.

During her tenure at CTC, she was promoted to Director of Therapy

and Fun and moved into the position of Programs Director in 2019.

Before working with CTC, Jan taught at Grand Rapids Public School

She’s a graduate of Western Michigan University, with a Bachelor of

Science and a Masters of Arts. Jan is married with two adult children

and six grandchildren and her interests include spending time with her

family and travel.

Rodney Martin served CTC for over 25 years as a member of its board

and as board president. Rodney has practiced law with Warner

Norcross + Judd LLP for over 42 years. Working to support children has

been a passion for Rodney. He's also served group facilitator, board

member, and board chair of the Youth Development Program at East

Grand Rapids High School, as a Cubmaster and Scoutmaster in the Boy

Scouts program, and as Program Director for the Gerald R. Ford

Council. Supporting CTC was a family affair for Rodney: Both of his

children worked as volunteers for Therapy & Fun and were on staff

when they were in college. Rodney is an amateur landscape

photographer whose work has appeared in national publications and

exhibited at the Glen Arbor Art Center.

Macie Zack is currently pursuing a Master's degree at Grand Valley

State University in Occupational Therapy. CTC played an important role

in her professional development and career path. She started

and worked at CTC for 2 years in 2017 and 2021, While in graduate
