Adaptive programs

The 30-minute weekly pool program provides each child (ages 3 and potty trained, through 18 years) the support and tools needed to develop and increase basic aquatic skills in a safe environment. For more information contact Aquatics Director, Alex Fraser at alexf@lhymca.com.

The YMCA has been a leader in serving those with disabilities, special needs and developmental challenges. For kids who have special needs, reaching milestones comes with unique challenges.

Our programs encourage and support the participation of individuals with disabilities in programs and services in the same environment as their peers. With individual attention, we will work to target a wide range of skills including conversations: (i.e., winning and losing, personal space, joining a group, social cues and so much more).

Your child will have an opportunity to engage in a youth class with a 1:3 ratio of qualified staff to ensure that your child has a fun, successful, and quality experience. The Y offers inclusion programs for kids ages 6-14.
