Beyond the Spectrum
Martial arts have been shown to be very beneficial for kids in general, and kids on the Autism spectrum as especially. The Beyond the Spectrum program is designed to provide physical, intellectual, emotional and social skills therapy for children on the Autism spectrum, using martial arts as the tool to focus attention. The program introduces specialised skill-based training for children who have different physical, intellectual, social, and emotional abilities, with further consideration for sensory processing issues. With that said, more emphasis is placed on building fundamental skills training with a strategic balance of Martial Arts.
This is a pre-martial arts program designed to give kids with different abilities the background skills and understanding of the ‘hidden’ curriculum before graduating into the general classes; which program and the instructor student ratio for the individual class will be determined by a one-on-one pre-evaluation of the individual’s current capabilities and needs.
The pre-evaluation is not a test. It is not a pass/fail thing but it is a chance for everyone to meet, discuss your child’s needs, capabilities, likes and dislikes and to assess their current level of abilities relating to martial arts classes.
Once the one-on-one pre-evaluation is completed we will place the child in the most appropriate class for their current developmental phase – either one-on-one sessions, very small group classes Spectrum Skills (essentially pre-martial arts), and finally the regular group classes.
