Our friends at ASK Autism & More are hosting Swimming Lessons again this summer!

UPDATE- the class is half-full already!

It's time to sign up for swimming lessons.

These lessons are different than usual ones. They are for ALL ages and every swimmer MUST have a responsible adult with them at all times.

The instructor will go from person to person and you will help your person practice those skills.

There will be a paper to fill out the first night and you will pay then. Cost is $50 and can be paid by cash (preferably) or check. No cards!

Class size is limited to 25. Text Jen with your name and your child's name.

This week, we were able to give backpacks with sensory items and communication charts to CCEMS Station 1 and the Walhonding Valley Fire Department in Warsaw. These items may help first responders when interacting with children and adults who have sensory and/or communication needs. We are thankful for all they do to keep us safe around the clock!
Items in the bag are:
Noise- canceling headphones for those with sound sensitivities
Various fidget/sensory items to help soothe, calm, or distract during times of crisis
A “First Responder” communication chart to assist someone who may not use words to communicate

Thank you for all you do for our community! Coshocton County Professional EMS Association, Local 5078, Walhonding Valley Firefighters
