🎵 Go ahead and jump (jump!) 🎵 is what these two consumers heard during their physical therapy session recently! Jumping is not only fun, but also develops strength, improves coordination and balance, and boosts self-confidence.

Recently in Miss Ariana's class, one of their primary goals had been working on providers attending and fading back throughout class. This allows students the opportunity to practice following the activity/group with self-sufficiency, expanding on more than just being physically present with the group.

During Human Values time with Ms. Margaret, it was so silent you could hear a pin drop! Every student was watching carefully, smiling, sitting for the entirety of their story, and not only greeted Ms. Margaret with waves and smiles, but waved goodbye as well!

This is a testament to the hard work and motivation of our consumers, not just in practicing these skills, but their motivation to learn and to keep trying! 👏
