Did you know that Practice without Pressure- Pike Creek is the only nonprofit in Delaware that works with those with special needs to ensure that they they get the dental, medical and personal care they deserve? Did you know that we believe that everyone has the capacity to participate in their care, regardless of ability level? Did you know that we rely on the generous support of donors like you in order to make sure we can continue to do the work that we do?

Your tax deductible donation will help us continue to practice with those who are afraid of routine dental, medical and personal care, helping to enhance their overall health and allowing them to live without the fear of seeing a doctor or dentist. 

Practice Without Pressure- Pike Creek is the only organization that employs the practice model for  dental, medical and personal care, providing the framework for those with and without special needs to become comfortable with procedures they once feared, resisted or avoided.  This step-by- step approach promotes trust and learning. The overarching PWP philosophy is that everyone can participate in their own care, no matter their level of ability or disability. It is a capacity building model for the individual, the caregiver, and the clinician as well as a paradigm shift in the culture of service delivery for people with disabilities.
