CANCELED-Teen Tastic: Superhero Fun (13-17 yrs)

All programs will be suspended until the end of March. This includes canceling all group programming, one on one tutoring and Playhouse events. This decision was made to take precautionary measures in regards to the Coronavirus to ensure the health and safety of our participants, their families, volunteers and staff.

Teen Tastic will be crafting fun superhero-themed ornaments and crafts for the upcoming Gala!

This group promotes friendship, social interactions, communication through a variety of social activities, outing, and games for teens.  Recommended for all teens ages 13-17. Participants in Teen Tastic gain confidence, leadership skills, and empowerment while working as part of a team or on individual projects and tasks.  If you, or your child, are looking for opportunities to socialize, practice your leadership skills, and be a part of amazing creative projects, then TeenTastic is the right group for you!

Teen Tastic supports the therapeutic-based development of individuals with Down syndrome. Our goals include achieving the following:

• social skills increase, with focus on group participation and increasing leisure activity options.
• language development increase, with focus on appropriateness, maintaining conversation and non-verbal social language.
• Increase gross motor skills, with focus on general health, fitness (strength and balance), and awareness of personal space.
• Increase fine motor skills & self-help skills through participation in various activities.
