How it can help
They offer sensory integration sessions for children and young people who have:
- movement and coordination difficulties
- learning difficulties
These sessions are run by qualified disability gymnastic instructors. They are designed to help develop sensory processing and regulation. Instructions are kept to a minimum and sessions follow the children's interests. This could include gently guiding them to roll, swing or jump.
Blackwater Gymnastics also offer SEND gymnastic sessions in a safe, small environment. These small group sessions are for children and young people who:
- are diagnosed with SEND and have some body control
- have social, emotional or mental health difficulties and find it difficult being in a fast paced or noisy environment
- have no diagnosis but do not feel confident taking part in a larger group setting
Children develop their skills at their own pace and will lots of encouragement. An instructor supports small groups of two or three children.
They have a session dedicated for home educated children.
