Kids in Motion

For Children with Special Needs

Kids in Motion are recreational gymnastics and movement classes for children with special physical and cognitive learning needs.  The goal is to give each child what all children are entitled to: the opportunity to experience an active life that is filled with excitement, self-confidence, discovery and most importantly, FUN!   Class structure assists with the development of such skills as:  waiting, taking turns, sharing, self-regulation, transitioning from one activity to another, and modulation of behavior.  In turn, this helps children be more alert and organized at school and more relaxed and able to integrate in family, social, and community events and gatherings. 

Class sizes are one on one or small depending on learning needs.  Our instructors work with therapists and parents and consult with Easter Seals personnel to develop lesson plans to meet individual goals and needs.  Our instructors build personal, nurturing bonds with the students, which allow the children to excel far beyond the perceived limits.  Kids in Motion was developed and operates in collaboration with Easter Seals.
