Special
L.I.N.K.S. offers a variety of developmental therapy services including
physical, occupational, speech and vision therapy. We
also offer music therapy, art, dance, self help skills, warm water therapy,
and independence skills. Special LINKS is taught by a wonderful and dedicated
staff of teachers, paraprofessionals, therapists and administrative personnel,
with JoAnna Dean (co-founder) as the Special Education Teacher.
Ms.
Dean's class also goes to gymnastics once a week. Again, they ride the
RTD and use their community and safety skills to get to the gymnastics
academy. Aside from having a great time, the gross motor and sensory activities
the students participate in while learning gymnastics serves as a way
to achieve each child's Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals.
Most importantly, gymnastics is an age appropriate activity that they
get to be involved in that most likely they would not have the opportunity
to go to outside of school. It is an activity that typical peers can relate
to and gives the students a common interest and bond.
