SUPER STARS
                       Children with ASD

4 - 10 Years

The Super Stars class is specifically developed for children with autism spectrum disorder. The traditional My Gym curriculum is taught with adaptations to meet the structure and visual support needs of these special children. During the class, the participants are led through the series of activities with verbal cues reinforced with visual aids. Children are encouraged and allowed to participate to the best of their ability. Lavish praise from the teachers and support from the parents/aides make this a positive experience. Thrill with your child as he or she experiences the success of accomplishing the tumbling, relays and other motor skill challenges we have for them.

Our instructors are experts in the My Gym curriculum and have received additional training to work effectively with children with ASD. Because they are not experts in autism, your understanding, communication and support will be vital as we work together to provide a fantastic experience for your child.

Class size is limited to 12 students. Each child, regardless of level of functioning, must be supported by a parent or one-on-one aide throughout the one-hour class. Parents of each enrolled child are asked to provide a copy of the Participant Profile at least one week prior to the child's first class. A special My Gym Social Story is available upon request for each enrolled child to help ensure a positive experience.

While the extent of the child's autism will not be a factor in eligibility for this class, we recognize that not all children with autism will be successful in the highly stimulating My Gym environment. Should this be the case for your child we seek your cooperation and understanding. We are unable to accommodate a free trial class experience for this class, but you are welcome to preview a class from our lobby prior to enrolling to determine if the Super Stars class will be right for your child.

If you have any questions, want to schedule a preview, wish to discuss the Super Stars program with one of the instructors, or are ready to enroll your child in the class, please contact your preferred My Gym location.
