SEN SESSIONS

At Athena Circus Academy our mission is to provide circus experiences to people of all ages and abilities!

Whether you are looking for a series of regular group classes, a one-off workshop, or a private 1:1 or group class, our highly trained instructors can provide fun filled, creative, and educational experiences for those with complex needs, social difficulties, and SEND (Special Educational Needs & Disabilities)

How is this achieved? We will work in collaboration with you to build a package suited to your individual and group needs, ensuring you have an enjoyable experience whilst learning & developing new skills.

What are the benefits? Circus can target reflexes, rhythm, balance, co-ordination, and concentration - whilst also improving confidence, and physical and mental well-being.

It has been proven that exercise and sport can improve our metal health. According to the National Autistic Society up to 40% of people with ASD or a similar spectrum condition will have an anxiety disorder. As opposed to just 15% in the general population. Not only will dance and movement improve the physical health of our children, it will also help their mental wellbeing

Adaptability We are experienced in making adaptations for everyone’s needs. We bring in props and costumes to make it really visual and for a sensory experience. We’ll keep the music volume low for those with sensitive hearing, or those who don’t like loud noises.
