Recreation
Recreation is a critical component of our program. Throughout each day, the children will engage in ongoing recreational activities. They include: soccer, basketball, Frisbee, tennis, swimming and much more. Children with exceptionalities often find themselves with limited opportunities to fully enjoy leisure time. A lack of perceptual, motor, memory, linguistic, or organizational skills may cause them as much difficulty for leisure as they have at school or work. Fear of failure may limit their reaching out to access recreational activities. Just as we teach children with dyslexia to read, those with math disabilities to understand math, those with linguistic problems to better comprehend and use language, we must teach skills and provide practice so children with exceptionalities can achieve some recreational proficiencies.
