Hybrid – Teen Tastic

We will be meeting in person for the first time since March of 2020 but don’t worry if you’re not comfortable in person we will also have a virtual option. 

Join us at McManus Park in Bettendorf for a night of friendship and creating. Feel free to bring a sack dinner with you!

This group promotes friendship, social interactions, communication through a variety of social activities, outings, 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 Teen Tastic 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 a focus on group participation and increasing leisure activity options.
• language development increase, with a focus on appropriateness, maintaining conversation, and non-verbal social language.
• Increase gross motor skills, with a 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.

RSVPs are required.
