Children’s Intensive 6-week Aquatic Program
In an effort to address a critical need for children with neurological and physical disabilities, The Rehab Center has been awarded a grant from the Ohio Causality Insurance Foundation to implement a children’s intensive aquatic program. The program shall serve children 3 years to 10 years old who have a neurological or physical disorder. The program consists of two half hour aquatic sessions per week for a 6-week period.
Participation in this program shall help each child increase muscle strength, increase muscle tone, improve mobility, increase range of motion, reduce muscle atrophy, improve balance and coordination, improve self-esteem and enhance sensory integration.
Except for a $25 charge for the initial evaluation there is no charge to participate in the program. To learn more about the program and to enroll your child in the program, contact Josh, Aquatic Manager, at 937- 773-7630.
The Afterschool 8-week Intensive Neurodevelopmental Program will begin on
January 28 2013. The program, which has been offered for eight years, is specifically designed to address the unique needs of 6 to 10 year old elementary students who are displaying delays and difficulties in their current academic setting. These children are in the early stages of their educational journey and can benefit the most from an intervention at this early age. The program is open to children residing in the Miami and surrounding counties.
The purpose of the after school program is to provide an innovative, proven and effective series of neurodevelopmental activities that are designed to improve neurological organization of each participant. As neurological organization improves academic performance will ultimately improve.
Anticipated outcomes may include improvements with focus, concentration, coordination, social skills, and academic performance and increased self-esteem. According to Beverly Mikolajewski, Program Coordinator, it is so amazing when the children see their improvements and can identify those areas. The children, themselves, report that “School is better”, “My math and spelling grades are better”, “I am able to get my homework done without it being such a huge problem”, “I am happier”, and “I can read is better”.
The 8-week program will consist of 2-hour sessions per day, 4 days per week. Services will be provided in a group setting. The sessions are scheduled from 3:30 PM-5:30 PM Monday through Thursday. With significant grant funding received, the entire program fee is $200. Registrations are currently being accepted.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact Beverly to discuss how this program may be of benefit for your child. She can be reached at (937) 773-7630 ext. 109 or email at mikojmj@woh.rr.com
