Sensory Supported Swimming is a learn-to-swim program specifically for children, ages 4 to 17, with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The children learn from swim instructors and licensed therapists who have experience working with children with ASD. Therapists evaluate children’s sensory preferences and work with swim instructors to provide sensory supports to facilitate children’s success with swimming.

Children work independently with instructors or in small groups depending on their needs. Our goal is to help children learn the skills they need to swim in their community programs and/or local swim teams. As children progress, therapists will work with families to transition children to community programs.
