About
At Break the Barriers, we pride ourselves in the quality of our gymnastics program. All classes are taught by accomplished gymnasts who are experts in teaching gymnastics technique, spotting, and building students’ self-esteem. Students are trained in all of the gymnastics events including the trampoline, tumble track, parallel bars, uneven bars, high bar, spring floor, vault, rings, and balance beam. Each student is taught skills for his or her individual level in a fun and encouraging environment.
Gymnastics Spectrum Classes
Students on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or who have a special need, are given an introduction to the gymnastics class. We offer a greater number of coaches to a smaller number of students so that students can have the opportunity to become familiar with the equipment, the transitions of changes to different events, and the other skills required to be successful. The goal is to get the students ready to participate in a class with their peers. All staff are required to attend workshops where they 1) are familiarized with ASD, 2) learn how to use PECs, a structured schedule, and the Timed Timer, and 3) co-teach a spectrum class with a trained staff member.
