Offering a more tailored program to suit all levels of physical and mental ability.
GymAbility aims to support coaches and teachers to deliver movement programs that are inclusive for all, regardless of level of ability. Participants may or may not have a disability that impacts on participation. It is important to remember that all participants are individuals, and any activities undertaken should consider their individual needs with the focus on what participants can do, rather than on what they can't.
We have scheduled these classes on Sunday to minimise distractions and create a safer environment for everyone participating in our classes. Another advantage is, we will be able to open a small viewing area for an additional parent or carer. These classes are tailored to suit the needs of the individual members and may differ from one 6 week block to the next. Where possible, we include children with additional needs into our mainstream programs, however, this is not the right choice for all children.
6-Week Programs run on Sundays periodically throughout the year:
-
Gym-Jumpers: 10 am-10:45 am
-
Gym-Leapers: 11 am-11:45 am
-
Gym-Explorers: 12 pm-1 pm
Placement in the classes will be determined by the coach/faciliator once they have met with you and your child and will be deppendent on availability.
Parents/Carers:
Our Coaches/Educators are primarily facilitators, with Parents/Carers supporting their child's engagement in the programs' group and individual activities. 1x Parent/Carer is to accompany their participant throughout the entire session unless the coach/educator advises otherwise (if this is the case, you will need to remain in the viewing area for the duration of the class).
Accessibility:
Parents/Carers are responsible for participants' toileting needs during sessions. The multi-purpose training hall has a wheelchair accessible front entry and toilet in addition to a male and female accessible toilet stall, and a paediatric change table that participants can use before, during and after their sessions.
