I'm in charge of babysitting a middle and high schooler (7th grade/10th grade) and wanted to scope out if there are any programs that they could be involved in. Currently both could be interested in E-sports (video games or very simple coding basically) and potentially art too. It'd be great to find things in California with a potential remote option, but parents also want them to go out, so open to COVID safe social options. Anybody have any experience/recommendations for this? thanks!
This depends on what their special needs are. Many cities have programs that people with disabilities can be involved in like arts and crafts. CA is a big state and much different than where I live. I would start with something like "Parks and Recreation" at the city level. Also, the school counselor or teacher may have ideas for you.
"Special Olympics transforms lives through the joy of sport, every day, everywhere. We are the world's largest sports organization for people with intellectual disabilities: with 4.4 million athletes in 170 countries -- and millions more volunteers and supporters. We are also a global and social movement.
Through the power of sports, people with intellectual disabilities discover new strengths and abilities, skills, and success. The athletes find joy, confidence and fulfillment -- on the playing field and in life. They also inspire people in their communities and elsewhere to open their hearts to a wider world of human talents and potential."
