SPECIAL NEEDS PROGRAM
Toxic’s Special Needs Program is an all ability inclusive dance program. The program is created and run by an Occupational Therapist and Education Assistant and focuses on the integration of dance and disability in a therapeutic, fun, musical and movement-based setting. We offer a junior and senior program.
Our Junior Program, Platinum, focuses on gross motor development, sensory and emotional regulation and social awareness through circuit fun, movement activities and music.
Our Senior Program, Titanium, incorporates a strong dance approach where students can learn emotional regulation and increase body awareness through exploring different styles and genres of dance. Senior Program students have the opportunity to perform in performances and competitions throughout the year.
Titanium focuses on an inclusive approach and therefore offers a 1:1 mentor program with volunteers that help integrate mixed abilities working together. This way the students individual needs can be met and friendships can also be made. We welcome all needs.
