I recently met Jaclyn at an ADHD awareness event. I liked what her organization had to offer. You decide. Check it out!
“Super Soccer Stars Shine is a unique program that uses soccer as a vehicle to teach life skills to individuals with developmental disabilities. Our innovative curriculum, designed by licensed educators and therapists, promotes the complete growth and development of each player. Our low player-to-coach ratios encourage and empower players to increase social potential with teammates, build self-awareness and confidence, and advance gross and fine motor skills — all while having a blast!
Our program utilizes a developmentally appropriate curriculum created exclusively for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities including, but not limited to, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Down’s Syndrome, ADHD and PDD-NOS. The curriculum is tailored to continuously support the individual needs of each player. Classes focus on simplifying soccer into specific components while teammates work together to build new skills in a fun, non-competitive and educational environment. Each class follows a structured sequence of entertaining and engaging individual and team-based activities. Our specially trained coaches use specific tools and techniques including picture schedules, positive reinforcement and repetition to reinforce communication, aid in transition and increase task completion.
For more information, please contact Jaclyn Grant, Operations and Special Needs Coordinator, by phone (781-777-7171) or e-mail (bostonshine@supersoccerstars.com). We look forward to speaking with you!”
