Some of our wheelchair students, who can not walk on land, can walk or swim when they are put in the pool. Blind children find the pool a very secure environment, they can explore without fear of injury. The children with autistic characteristics experience a calming effect. No matter what the disability, all the students have a feeling of well-being. Aquatic activities range from simple relaxation to formal speech, physical, and occupational therapy, progressing all the way to the N.K.C. special olympics swim team.
Parent involvement is encouraged by hands-on training in the pool with the children.
