At Body Mechanics and Function Cotton Tree, we believe in the power of movement to transform lives, especially for kids navigating ADHD, Autism, and learning difficulties.

Why Movement Matters for Kids with ADHD, Autism & Learning Difficulties:

  1. From Bounce to Balance! – Exercise for Focus and Attention:
    Does your child have endless energy? Let’s channel it into something positive! Exercise helps improve focus and attention, making it easier for them to manage their energy throughout the day. Whether it’s jumping, running, or balancing, we create exercises that are fun and help build that all-important concentration.
  2. Sensory-Friendly Workouts:
    Kids with Autism often have sensory sensitivities, and our exercise programs are designed to be sensory-friendly. From the quiet calm of swimming to the fun, rhythmic movements in balance exercises, we help kids regulate their sensory input in a way that feels good to them.
  3. Building Social Skills Through Teamwork & Fun:
    Exercise isn’t just about physical strength—it’s about building friendships and learning how to play and work with others. In our group sessions, kids learn teamwork, turn-taking, and communication skills, all while moving and having a blast!
  4. Turning Wiggles into Wins: Movement for Emotional Regulation
    Sometimes kids just need a safe space to get out all those wiggles. Exercise can be an outlet for that extra energy, helping to manage big emotions, reduce stress, and make room for better learning and focus. Our activities are designed to feel like play but work on building emotional resilience too.
  5. Building Superhero Strength: Exercise for Kids
    Every kid has their own special set of superpowers, and we’re here to help them discover and grow theirs. Whether it’s coordination, strength, or balance, we use fun exercises that make kids feel like superheroes in their own story.
