Learn a new Super Power on Thursdays!

For some of you, summer was as fast as light…but for me, this summer was definitely a slow one.

Back in July, I injured my right knee and spent almost the entire month in a wheelchair, then switched to crutches in August and now I’m finding my way back on my two feet, which still hurts and there’s still a long way to go until I’m fully recovered, but that doesn’t mean I’m disabled!

It just means that I was able to develop a new alternate ability (along with a whole new package of patience) and now, my arms and my left leg are so strong that I can’t believe it!

Did you know that almost 90% of the people with a disability or let’s say: alternate ability can develop a great power in them? oh yes! it happens!

For kids, this happens much faster, in fact, they are more apt to learn all sorts of things if they are exposed to consistent multisensory experiences like using their sense of touch and smell (if visually impared) or just having someone to help.

Now, kids can be very curious if they are in front of someone with an alternate ability and that’s why I want to help them explore ways to sensitively communicate with other kids with any “super power”.

From a personal perspective and after being in a wheelchair, I have to say that kids need to be taught how to interact with others who may act or look different. Join us every thursday from 1 – 4 in a multisensory experience, where we’ll explore from our senses to all the different types of physical – mental conditions or let’s just call it: Super Powers!
