SpectrAbilities

SpectrAbilities is MSGA’s inclusion gymnastics program through which we strive to create a nurturing environment for a spectrum of learners.  A one-of-a-kind program for our area, SpectrAbilities has been carefully designed to support neurodiverse children throughout the South Shore. Through gymnastics our students will develop emotional self-awareness, gain executive functioning skills and practice social communication.

Why
 
We believe movement is for everybody regardless of their age, ability, background, or personal attributes. We have developed our inclusive environment to be a friendly and safe place, free of harassment and discrimination. We offer body-in-motion education and skill development in a fun-filled gymnastic and obstacle-rich environment.

 

It is our mission to build strength and inner confidence to foster healthy, happy, empowered kids!

Program Opportunities
 

Our SpectrAbilities program will consist of 1:1 Individualized Lessons and Fostering Friendship small group classes. Our individualized lessons will mainly be utilized to develop group readiness skills in our students so they can join a Fostering Friendship small group class. We'll even offer 1 FREE trial class to make sure it's the right fit before moving them into a group class.

INTRODUCING SpectrAbilities Parkour!
 

Starting in November we will be partnering with MSGA’s Parkour program to offer 45-minute small group parkour classes for children 5+ years old. Parkour is the practice of traversing obstacles within the environment by running, jumping, vaulting, climbing, and rolling in the quickest and most-efficient way possible. For the 2024-2025 school year, SpectrAbilities Parkour classes will be held on Thursdays from 3:45-4:30pm and Sundays from 11:45-12:30pm.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Michelle G.

Activities outside of school and therapy are another level of difficulty for our child, and SpectrAbilities has opened such a large door for us. Sydney loves to jump and spin and tumble, and this program allows her to do this with the structure and routines of visual schedules, turn taking, patience and more. We’re so grateful for Sydney to have an opportunity to participate in a way that works for her, due to the inclusion of this wonderful program!

Meghan H.

Our daughter loves working on her floor routine and making new friends at SpectrAbilties! This program offers wonderful opportunities to develop her social confidence while she has fun dancing, jumping, doing obstacle courses, and practicing on the rings and balance beam. The small group and quieter gym environment really enhance her comfort and concentration.

Sharon C.

SpectrAbilities has been a wonderful class for Daniel, increasing his self confidence, upper body strength, and regulation. He is really proud of all he's able to do in gymnastics, and it's been great seeing him establish friendships. Also, Coach Kara is amazing and he enjoys working with her!
