Story
I am working with a 16-year-old youth that is a permanent court ward and is currently in a residential placement and has been for a while. This youth is cognitively delayed and is lacking in general life skills. This youth's therapist emailed me this note "We would like to enroll **** in swim lessons. He is interested, and we think the benefits would be learning a safety skill, leisure skills, wellness/getting him moving his body, and hopefully some fun!" Swimming would be very beneficial for him to begin the process of not only learning a safety life skill but also to begin a sport of being active.
This is a one-time payment needed. The residential placement would do all transportation for the youth to participate in the swimming lessons.
