School of Acrobatics & New Circus Arts

 

 

Have you ever considered circus training as a form of developmental therapy for children?  Really!  Yes, the Circus!  At Clear Speech Inc., we’re passionate about helping children, and their families, reach their own highest potential in growth and development.  When our young clients need extra support in the areas of motor control, body awareness, vestibular (balance) and sensory information there are many options in the community. There are the traditional occupational or physical therapy activities, but now a wider variety of options exist that also promote skill development in developmentally appropriate and fun ways; hippotherapy, martial arts, gymnastics, and now SANCA.  

We’ve heard great things from families who have trained at the School of Acrobatics & New Circus Arts (SANCA).  SANCA’s website says, “The Every Body's Circus Program offers classes & camps for youth with disabilities such as Autism, cerebral palsy, hemiparesis, spina bifida, visual or hearing impairment. In classes, students gain core strength, balance, and gripping strength.Students try every kind of circus, including trampoline, tightrope, juggling, handstands, trapeze, and aerials.  Every Body’s Circus provides a set curriculum of skill progressions that enable youth to develop physical skills and social interaction skills in small achievable steps that build upon each other. These progressions are adapted to the abilities and needs of the students participating in each class.  SANCA partners with organizations throughout the Seattle area such as Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic and Seattle Children’s Hospital as well as Clear Speech, Incorporated in Everett.

 

This is an exciting way for children with challenges to be front-and-center, participating in a colorful, exciting program that captures their imagination!  

Have fun kids!!
