| “SOAR gives our son the extra push he needs for developing his gross motor skills while encouraging his self-esteem along the way. We are grateful for the option of private or group lessons as well as the non-threatening, open communication with Wendy and staff. No other gymnastic program that we have looked into offers this unconditional acceptance and positive experience for children with disabilities.” -M.Dewberry |
