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.

  *MarVaTots 'n Teens Gymnastics,

    MarVaTots 'n Teens Gymnastics first open in
    1972, making us one of the oldest gymnastics clubs
    in the State of Maryland. We used to have (3)
    facilities; our main gym in Rockville, Wheaton &
    Gaithersburg. Back in the mid-80's all three gym
    were sold to separate people, but everyone kept
    the name MarVaTots 'n Teens. My wife and I
    started working here in June of 1985. I bought the
    Rockville gym in 1998 and my wife and I run the
    gym and coach our competitive teams. I personally
    have been in the sport since 1974 and have been
    coaching since somewhere around 1975-'76. I am
    USA Gymnastics safety certified and passed the
    USA Gymnastics criminal background screening
    process. Just this past season (2010), I was named
    Maryland USAG Junior Olympic Coach of the
    Year! The gym has been awarded 'Best Business' of
    the year award for Rockville for three years in a
    row! We've had an 8 year partnership with the
    ARC of Montgomery County and a new association
    with a community service project called the
    'Friendship Circle' of Potomac. This is an
    organization that works with children of special
    needs. We offer gymnastics classes to children,
    from age walking through teens and we have a few
    adults as well! We offer classes in the mornings,
    early & late afternoons and evening classes during
    the week and Saturday & Sunday morning classes!
    We offer open gyms and a tumbling/tramp class
    and host birthday parties on Sundays! We have a
    very successful competitive girls team with
    multiple State, Regional and National Champions!
