Girl’s Power Hour is an hour of fun and fitness for teenage girls with disabilities.

Join us for an hour of heart pumping fun as we encourage one another toward a lifetime of being healthy and fit.   Participants will be evaluated for a baseline fitness level during the first session.

From there they will participate in a combination of cardio and strengthening exercises to reach their individual fitness goals. So turn up the music and bring your smile. The Boston Ability Center will be rockin’ with girl power on Wednesday afternoons.

Girls of all abilities are welcome!

Improving their sitting posture, helping their grip mature, increasing trunk strength and hand strength, enhancing their control during tool use, improving legibility through formation, orientation, spacing and sizing of letters

Prepare kids for writing by increasing strength, body awareness skills, fine motor coordination, and visual-motor skills.  Participants will use a variety of exercises from the Handwriting Without Tears and  Callirobics programs as well. (We can also adapt to any writing program your child may already be familiar with at school.)
