I am really excited to share this with everyone with a special needs kiddo in our area!
MyGym in Mechanicsburg is starting a Special Needs class! Here is what was in the recent newsletter:
**************
In our non-competitive environment children have fun as they gain strength, balance, coordination, fine and gross motor proficiency, agility, flexibility, and social skills. The most important benefit we offer, however, is the building of confidence and self-esteem through individual accomplishments.
Our structured 45-minute weekly classes will include a warm-up, games, gymnastics, manipulatives, swings, big adventures, and other original activities.
This unique class is offered only to children with special needs. Children with moderate to severe pervasive development disorders and children with moderate to severe verbal and gross motor delays will find this class most beneficial. This class is so great because we focus on the child's abilities, not their disabilities.
Class will be held on Thursday evenings throughout the summer, beginning in June, from 5:30-6:15pm. Pending expressed interested in the class, we may form a class as early as April on Monday evenings, from 6:00-6:45pm. Parent participation in this class is optional.
This class is being offered at a rate of only $52 for 4 weeks! Scholarship money can be applied for. Call us and ask to speak with Susan Bartak for additional details and/or to express interest in the class.

I am very interested and will be contacting them to sign up for the class!!!! I hope to see some of our friends there too! Email me if you're interested in attending!
That is absolutely wonderful! I am so happy there is something local for Jack! He will just love it! Have fun Buddy, you have more than earned it! Have you ever heard of Daniel's Den that they are building here in Lancaster? Looks like it will be just as nice. It's an outside playground being built for special needs kids. The organizer's son has CP as well. Maybe you can check that out if you haven't already.

Wow, that sounds like a really neat class. I'm sure Jack will have lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm always keeping my eye out for something like this for Abby.

I wish I lived by you! You know, that sounds so awesome. I have this pipe dream about a special needs playgroup. You'll have fun just meeting all the other parents.
ReplyDeleteWe attended that My Gym for 2 years - until last May - they were great about accommodating Sam's special needs and allowed him to remain in his ability group - rather than age group. He loved it and the people there - he misses it! I hope you and Jack will enjoy it too.
