Older teens and young adults(14-22) can be part of the” Foodie Group” once a week working on things a little more independently such as grocery shopping skills.

Have you ever played Adaptive Soccer? In the first place, why not? Second, were there lots of other kids similar to you there? Either way, you need to know about an awesome multi-state program called” Shine Shadows .” Together with Super Soccer Stars, they help each player by breaking down the components of soccer into simple parts. With this hands-on approach, the player gets to learn all the moves of Adaptive Soccer and still be included as part of the team.

If you haven’t ever been part of a team thus far, I highly recommend it. While you are getting your heart rate up-always a plus, you are able to make lots of new friends. With exercise, social interaction, and developmental skills being some of the benefits you can’t go wrong with adaptive soccer.

Overall the whole “Shine Shadows” program provides a rewarding experience for people with disabilities. Furthermore, it’s a non-competitive environment where everybody WINS and no one leaves disappointed. All ages and abilities welcome. YOU can even create your own class. Let’s Kick it.

Swim Jim-Upper East Side

adaptive swimming swim jim special needs nyc

Adaptive Swimming can actually save your Special Needs child’s life. “Every child should know how to swim,” says Swim Jim and for this reason, they start lessons with babies. Although that may sound a little young, think about how fast babies can crawl. To illustrate how quickly situations can turn scary think about this scenario. Suppose you are at a backyard pool party. Everyone is having a fun time talking and laughing. Suddenly without anyone noticing a baby crawls towards the pool and falls in the water. You can’t jump in and save the baby if you don’t know how to swim. In this case, knowing how to swim not only benefits the baby but also yourself. If you haven’t taken an adaptive swimming class because you are afraid of the water this season is the time to take action.

Together with Swim Jim, you will gain confidence in and around the water. With a very low student to teacher ratio students of all abilities can benefit from these lessons. In spite of it being too cold outside their pool is indoor and heated. As a result, swim instruction is given all year long. Tell Aeriel Hello and Dive right in below.

Nordoff-Robbins Center for Music Therapy at New York University-Greenwich Village

Nordoff- Robbins Center for Music Therapy Special Needs NYC

Music therapy has nothing but benefits for the Special Needs Community. “Where Words Fail Music Speaks ” is true on so many levels. For instance how many times has a song conveyed how you feel about your crush? What about those days when you are feeling sad and can’t explain it? Music comes instantly to the rescue. Also like some of you, I have friends that are unable to use words at all. Similarly, music therapy provides a way to share how they are feeling too.

Presently here in Manhattan, there is a place called the Nordoff-Robbins Music Center for Music Therapy at New York University. New York University? Yes. Wouldn’t that be cool to say “gotta run, I have to get to NYU”? Couple that with the fact that you would be working with specialized instructors. You have got yourself an exciting new activity. Furthermore, they work with individuals with all sorts of disabilities. So no worries there. Luckily for us , the center prides itself on offering music resources to all. Because they been doing this a while, they have a lot of expertise. To demonstrate, research is even conducted on-site to show how beneficial music can be as a therapy tool. Just figure out what instrument you want to learn and poof- The hills are alive with music! Falalala….Follow the link.

Certainly, the museum can a have copy waiting for you when you attend. In this case, be sure you call 212-651-2010 and set everything up beforehand.
