PARENT & TOT DANCE PROGRAM
The Board of Behaviour Therapy and Learning Centre (BTLC) is proud to announce a new 10 week Parent & Tot Dance Program starting this fall for young children (2-5) diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Led by a qualified Dance Instructor and a Behaviour Consultant, this 45 minute class will focus on introducing children to creative movement, rhythmic play and music through activities facilitated by the use of props, musical instruments and games. It is an excellent opportunity to introduce children to a social setting with the participation of parents. Using the techniques of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), the class will also teach parents of children with development disabilities, how to teach their children learning-how-to-learn skills such as imitation, attention and behavioural self-control in a supported and welcoming environment. The conception and creation of this program is made possible by generous grants awarded by Calgary Foundation and the Allies for Autism Foundation. The Sinneave Family Foundation Resource Centre has generously allowed us the use of their space for this program, located at the Calgary Children's Hospital Child Development Centre Main Floor, 3820 24th Ave NW. Cost for the 10 week session is $295.00. If you wish to be notified of upcoming session dates and times, please call 403-217-5876 and leave a message to express your interest in being contacted with registration information when it becomes available.
