SPECIAL NEEDS GYMNASTICS
We run 2 special needs sessions, providing Gymnastics and Movement for People with an Additional Need. These are Saturday morning 9:00-10:00am (ages 5+) and Tuesday 1:30-2:30pm (ages 2-5).
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.
Our Saturday morning 9-10am session is a 1 hour class is open to children aged 5+ years old who have any additional needs requiring a high level of support, and our Tuesday afternoon 1:30-2:30pm session is a 1 hour class is open to preschool children aged 2-5.The children are to be accompanied by an adult (e.g. parent, carer) for the duration of the session. The smaller sized class is tailored to suit the needs and interests of the children. These sessions are £35 per month, plus £25 British Gymnastics and club annual membership.
We learn to balance, climb, swing, jump, recognise colours and shapes, take turns and have lots of fun!
We also have a sensory corner where there are lights, mirrors and tactile objects for the children to experience.
We also have classes from Mayfield School, Bidwell Brook, Orchard Manor and Coombe Pafford Business and Enterprise School come to use our facilities. The students from these special schools use the main gym area, that is all on the same ground-level, and the trampolines which have stairs or slope and a platform for easy access.
