Neurodiversity in Stretch-n-Grow classes. We are increasingly welcoming children with neurodiversity, creating an inclusive environment where all children can thrive through movement and structured play. Here’s how the programme supports neurodiverse children:
1. Tailored Activities for Different Needs
- Stretch-n-Grow sessions incorporate adaptive exercises that cater to children with varying abilities, ensuring everyone can participate comfortably.
- Activities focus on gross motor skills, coordination, and sensory engagement, which are beneficial for children with autism, ADHD, and other neurodiverse conditions.
2. Structured Yet Flexible Approach
- The classes follow a predictable routine, which helps neurodiverse children feel secure and engaged.
- Instructors use visual cues, clear instructions, and repetition to reinforce learning and reduce anxiety.
3. Sensory-Friendly Environment
- Stretch-n-Grow coaches are trained to create a calm and supportive atmosphere, minimizing overwhelming stimuli.
- Sessions may include gentle movement, breathing exercises, and sensory play to help children regulate emotions and focus.
4. Social & Emotional Development
- Group activities encourage peer interaction, helping children build social skills in a structured setting.
- Coaches emphasise positive reinforcement, boosting confidence and self-esteem.
5. Collaboration with Parents & Educators
- Stretch-n-Grow works closely with parents, teachers, and caregivers to understand each child’s unique needs.
- Feedback loops ensure that activities remain engaging and beneficial for neurodiverse participants.
