Adapted Aquatics / Special Needs
We pride ourselves in seeing each child’s abilities first. Skills, movements, strokes, communication techniques, and behavior strategies will be modified and adapted to meet your child’s needs. Miss Sarah has worked with a variety of students who have special needs. This list includes but is not limited to children on the Autism Spectrum, those students who have Down Syndrome, Fragile X, Cerebral Palsy, ADHD, seizure disorders and emotional disorders Some of my students who have special needs have been paired with typically developing peers. This program has benefitted both the swim student and swim buddy.
TESTIMONIALS
She individualizes the instructional program for each child. She seems to have an innate ability to work with developmentally disabled children and individuals with special needs. I am constantly amazed how calm, patient, and innovative she is.
James H. Esther, M.D., parent of former student
Sarah is persistent and firm but not pushy or abrupt with her directions or instruction. She has calmness about her that is passed along to her students.
Mary E. Henke, mother of special needs student
We are very lucky to have someone like Sarah Marx who has the ability and the perseverance to teach our kids with different abilities!
