Auburn Gymnastics Center Special Needs Program
Auburn Gymnastics Center is working with the non-profit Fit for Life Gymnastics to offer a special needs gymnastics program for children of all levels and abilities. This is a fantastic program that is offered at no cost to the eligible participants and can greatly impact a child’s life. Each special needs child has options when it comes to the level of participation in our programs.

1. Social: Language skills can be addressed in a small setting
2. Vestibular: Balance
3. Proprioceptive: Body awareness in space
4. Tactile: Touch and sensory information
5. Bilateral Integration: Important for learning and coordination
6. Motor Planning: allows a safe place for their bodies to explore movement
Inclusion Participation
Your special needs child can join in regularly scheduled classes with no more than an 8 to 1 ratio. See the Auburn Gymnastics Center Schedule for day and time options based on age.
Open Gym Time
We offer open play days that caregivers of special needs children can attend with the student. This is a free play structure in an open environment with children from 1-years-old and up. Check the Auburn Gymnastics Center Schedule for “free play day” offerings.
Fit For Life Needs Your Financial Support.
We are seeking donations to the 501c3 Fit for Life for the 2011-2012 season. If you have the means and would like to help a few special needs children with their tuition or competitive gymnasts with their fees a little can go a long way. In the past your donations to Fit for Life have let more than 5 kids compete gymnastics and more than 100 special needs children realize their potential and we look forward to your support.

Auburn Elite Cheer Team!
We invite children walking and up with all levels of physical abilities to join this life-changing program. If needed, we can set up an initial assessment to help you develop a personal plan for your student. The assessment along with the scholarship questionnaire we require for each student will give us some general information about their needs and how we can meet them. Teachers are trained to work with all children regardless of ability.
