GET STARTED

What to Expect on Your First Program Session

Your child’s first session begins with a welcoming introduction to an inclusive movement environment. Our team takes time to understand each child’s needs, abilities, and comfort level while creating a space where they feel safe, supported, and ready to participate.

From there, we guide children through a structured, play-based session designed to meet them exactly where they are. Activities follow a consistent flow of warm-up, main activity, and cool-down, and focus on fun, movement, teamwork, and positive social interaction in either community or school-based settings.

Your child’s first session with EA Therapeutic Health is an important step toward confidence, connection, and joyful movement. Our team is committed to creating meaningful experiences that help every child feel included, supported, and free to be themselves.

  • Inclusive & Adaptive Programming: Meeting each child where they are allows every child to feel capable and successful. By adapting activities to different abilities, children gain confidence, experience a sense of belonging, and are more willing to participate and try new challenges. 
  •  Play-Based Movement 
    Description: Play-Based Movement naturally motivates children to move without pressure or fear. By incorporating exercise into games and activities, kids stay engaged, build physical skills, and develop a positive relationship with movement often without even realizing their exercising.
