If your child has hypotonia (low muscle tone) like our son; sensory motor issues; vestibular and proprioceptive difficulties; or auditory, language or visual processing delays just to name a few, this page is where you'll find great "gyms" that specifically target those areas and many others for special needs kids. These instructors give our kids the opportunity and confidence to take a gymnastics class, for example, that gives the body the correct input and regulation it needs as well as safely teaches how to have fun. It also gives them a safe outlet for all their pent-up energy in an environment where they can go full speed -- or whatever speed they like -- without hurting themselves.
