Coach Aaron believes all children should have the opportunity to learn and play sports with peers! Aarons in-school program is designed not only for special needs children, but for those who can benefit from a smaller group setting. Aaron is passionate about working with kids with developmental delays and learning differences and encourages each child to engage in developmentally appropriate motor activities and games. Some of the benefits of Coach Aarons small sports groups include: team work, attending to tasks, appropriate social skills, reciprocal interaction, listening and following multiple step directions.

  Coach Aaron started working with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other special needs. A family asked him to teach their child to ride a bike and once that was complete he taught him how to swim. Since then he has taught over twenty individual kids to ride their bikes without training wheels and nine of them to swim. When it's cold outside Aaron creates unique indoor activities that work on hand eye coordination and gross motor exercises. He is now going on his fifth year working in homes with families.

He has an intuitive sense of what a child responds to, respects their limits and fears, but somehow finds a way to reach them and encourage their efforts, ultimately getting them to try and to succeed when all the while they are having fun and not even realizing that they are working hard. Our family will never forget Aaron and all that he did to help my son.
