Youth with autism and intellectual disabilities often face barriers to participation in physical activity and fitness programs: whether it be a higher cost, lack of support for their individual needs or the environment itself is inaccessible. MOVE was created to break down these barriers and cultivate a sese of belonging through the power of movement.What Makes MOVE Different?Classes offered year-round virtually and in-personOne-hour classes up to three times per weekAll staff receive specialized trainingIndividual needs are considered in every class100% FreeThese classes have been a blessing for my daughter.
