The program uses physical activity to support the cognitive, emotional, social and physical development of children with various disabilities. Through guided movement, play,
and physical exercises, the program aims to enhance motor skills, improve coordination, and
foster self-confidence.
Program Goals:
1. Enhance Motor Skills: Improve gross and fine motor skills through targeted physical
activities.
2. Promote Cognitive Development: Use movement to stimulate cognitive functions, including
attention, memory, and problem-solving.
3. Encourage Social Interaction: Foster social skills and teamwork through group activities.
4. Boost Emotional Well-being: Provide a positive outlet for emotional expression and reduce
anxiety or stress by promoting self-confidence and autonomy
5. Increase Physical Fitness: Promote overall health and well-being by encouraging regular
physical activity.
