The school uses a variety of activities to keep kids in motion, including music therapy, yoga, jogging and obstacle courses.
The school has now made a garden, filling up plant beds, with the seeds of over 20 different organic vegetables and herbs. The garden project tackles two problems associated with children with special needs: poor nutrition and a lack of physical activity.
