It's all about ABILITY.

It's an exciting thing, starting something new, and that's just what we're doing here. A group of people who saw a need and are trying to develop ways to meet that need. We want to create a place where everyone comes for physical fitness and social activities, where everyone has an opportunity to learn how to do things themselves, to the best of their ability.

Because we are all about focusing on ABILITY. Recognizing it and then celebrating it.

I recently read this article about benchmarks and goals over at Disability is Natural. In the article, Kathie Snow says the following:

The only fair benchmarks are the ones established by, and important to, the individual. The only fair comparison is to one’s self. Thus, a person is “here” (“current level of achievement” or whatever), with no comparison to others or a norm. We measure progress by what the person is doing today, as compared to what she was doing six days, six weeks, or six months ago, with no comparison to others or a norm. We ensure we’re focused on what the person can do and wants to do, not on what the person cannot do. Isn’t this common sense? Isn’t it the right thing to do?

I would answer this question with an emphatic YES! YES it is common sense and YES it is the right thing to do!

So what can your child do, today, right now? What does your child want to do?

We are so excited to work on those things together. We currently have a cheer team and have a soccer program and dance class in the works! Stay tuned here at the blog, check the calendar often and feel free to contact us with any thoughts or questions you may have.
