Are you concerned with your child's health
and well being?
Is your child sedentary?
Are you looking for ways to increase your child's activity level while promoting a healthy family lifestyle?
Supported by the Jack Fanning Memorial Foundation, The Fay J. Lindner Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities has teamed up with Eric Chessen of Autism Fitness to offer the Get FRESH Program- a 12 week fitness and healthy living research group for parents and teens.
The Get FRESH program targets:
Fitness and friendship
Recreation and relaxation
Energy and excitement
Sports and socializing
Health and happiness
There is no charge for participation. Participation in the Get FRESH group is based on an eligibility screening. Interested families must have a 13-16 year old with a current diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder. The group combines a weekly 90-minute teen group with a parent group meeting at the same time.
