The Sensation Nation recreational program offers a unique opportunity for children to participate in athletic and movement based programs to help develop motor and play skills. Typically, a recreational session is scheduled one or more times per week on a determined day and time and instructed by a coach qualified in working with the motor, sensory and behavioral needs of the children served. Most sessions are individually taught to focus on the specific needs of the child. However, small group instruction is available when appropriate. Sessions are held in natural environments alongside neurotypical gymnastics and swimming classes. Instruction in ball sports, bike riding and racquet sports is also available, in select facilities.

Individual Gymnastics
One-on-one instruction from skilled coaches facilitating physical development through gymnastics progression. Many sessions will utilize the sensory opportunities that only the gymnastics environment has to offer allowing the child to meet their sensory needs to improve attention, regulation and behavior.
Individual Swimming
One-on-one instruction from a coach skilled in the various stages of water safety and skill progression. Sessions are geared to the individuals needs and interests to enhance motivation and attention. Water safety is a minimum goal of all children because The Sensation Nation recognizes the significant benefits the water can offer our children. Once a child is water safe, stroke development becomes a focus.
Make-ups will only be offered if the instructor has to miss the lesson and there isn’t a sub available to teach your child.
