The instructor has a great way with kids. My child on the spectrum is able to follow along very well with the visual and verbal instruction combined and loves it.
This place is so wonderful. I am an ABA therapist and all 3 of my kids have started, each with their own unique learning and developmental differences. I can’t stress enough how only 2 classes in this has been phenomenal for my children. I had already met Dan at a disability resource fair and am so glad I was able to get the kiddos in here. Already recommending to all the families of kiddos with autism with which I work 😊
Saya Dan is excellent with children and is exceptional with children who struggle with participating with their peers for any number of reasons. He truly has a passion for the martial arts and for sharing that passion with people of all abilities.
My son has been attending this karate school for years and it has done wonders for him at home and at school. He has aspergers and adhd and the lessons he’s received from Saya Dan over the years has taught him discipline, focus and has equipped him to succeed and thrive.
This is what inclusion should look like. Adjustments are made for kids individual needs, but they are also all expected to work hard and do their best. Saya Dan was very patient with my shy little guy, and got him excited about Karate. I also love the waiting room chats with other parents. I’ve learned a lot about parenting and Austin resources for children with disabilities just by sitting in the waiting area!
