Creative Movement and Sound program designed for children with Autism, ADHD and other sensory processing disorders. Classes are small & Age appropriate.
Creative classes designed for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, Aspergers, Sensory Processing Disorder, ADHD and other disabilities affecting social communication. Creating a safe environment where children will have a large space to express and communicate through open movement and music. Use of age-appropriate instruments and toys; giving children opportunity to engage in t
heir surroundings and each other. Using Verbal/Visual cues, prompts, timers and token boards to help children engage in instruction in a fun and easy "one step" process. Possible learning outcomes: eye contact, core stability, socialization, exercise, making friends, listening skills, taking turns, rhythm, jumping, stomping, and acting out characters in a fun and caring environment. Classes will be held once a week in small age appropriate groups. This will allow children to feel less anxiety when coming to class. Behavioral Interventionists and/or parents/caregivers are encouraged to participate in classes with children; to help children feel more comfortable in their surroundings. "Social Story" for parents will be emailed or can be picked up at Lagoon Baby upon registration. This story will include pictures of me and the space we will be using. Also in the story will be pictures of some of the toys I will be introducing to students during class.
