LIFT & RISE: Move Your Way
LIFT & RISE events are for children ages 5-12 with intellectual and developmental disabilities; no prior group experience necessary. Registration for each event closes the Sunday before the event at 6:00 pm.
We are combining LIFT & RISE into one group in order to facilitate friendships, offer activities for children 5-12 more frequently, and provide more opportunities to practice social skills and learn through play. LIFT & RISE are play- and experience-based, structured programs where children explore confidence, friendships, and early independence in a safe and supportive environment. Sessions run 90 minutes. Participation is encouraged, not forced.
This movement-based session encourages participants to explore their bodies through obstacle courses, dance, balance activities, and free movement stations. Participants will build body awareness, regulation, and confidence while engaging in playful movement experiences at their own pace.
