Special Needs Classes
Special Needs
The Club has a long history of integrating children with additional needs into all of our sessions. Many have been referred to us by medical professionals to help their mobility and co-ordination.
Our qualified coaches have previous and current knowledge regarding Autism, Aspergers, Cystic Fibrosis, Downs Syndrome, Epilepsy, Congenital Heart, Muscular Dystrophy, Dyspraxia, Multiple Sclerosis, ADHD, Hearing and Sight difficulties and many more uncommon syndromes. We assist all children to enjoy and achieve in gymnastics or trampolining.
We have coaches qualified to work with children and adults with disabilities and three coaches are also Rebound Therapy Trained. We offer one-to-one sessions for adults with disabilities, please contact the office for available time slots.

We also have a Sensory Corner where there are lights,mirrors and tactile objects for the children to experience.
