Aquatic Therapy uses the therapeutic properties of the water to assist in achieving therapy goals. We work on motor planning, reflex integration, core strength, balance, self-regulation and bilateral coordination.
Most children with special needs will benefit from aquatic therapy. The therapeutic qualities of water are a wonderful alternative to or can complement traditional therapies for a variety of diagnoses including Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and any sensory-motor challenges. In our blog Everything You Need to Know About Pediatric Aquatic Therapy we share some of the reasons why you might expand your child’s services to include Aquatic Occupational, Physical and Recreation Therapy.
Adaptive Swim Lessons are designed specifically for individuals with disabilities or special needs. Our Swim Whisperers swim lessons are tailored to meet the needs of each individual and aim to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to learn how to swim, improve their swimming skills and gain water safety awareness.
Adaptive Swim lessons provide individuals with disabilities or special needs the opportunity to learn an essential skill, build confidence in the water, and enjoy the many benefits of swimming in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Adaptive Swim lessons are not Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy and cannot be billed to insurance.
