"Participating in gymnastics has such a positive impact on Seth. He very much looks forward to attending class each week. "Friday is gymnastics day!" he tells me with a huge grin. Seth is definitely a sensory seeker and he loves the swinging, bouncing, jumping and physical input that he gets from the class, but gymnastics is so much more than just FUN! Gymnastics has helped Seth to improve his social skills in and out of class. He has learned about taking turns, helping friends, cheering on friends' accomplishments, setting an example, being a leader and he is having a super fun time learning, which is so important! Attending gymnastics is such an amazing incentive for Seth and I am so grateful that he gets to be part of this class every week! Thank you!" - Seth's Mother
