Social Skills and Sensory Friendly Events Summer 2018

Many children with autism or sensory processing disorder need sensory friendly environments and social skills opportunities as they participate in summer activities. A new Northern Utah treasure has popped up - The Local-Social. Here are some great opportunities along the Wasatch Front!

Jedi Training to Live Well

Super Kids had an amazing time getting healthy eating tips and attending a "Jedi Training," battling it out with Star Wars villains on May 14th, 2018. Dr. Rafferty of Northern Utah Pediatrics shared her expertise in making nutrition fun and accessible. She recommends four steps to change up your nutrition:

1. Try no meat for a day. Increase veggies!
2. Try a new recipe each week.
3. Plant a garden together. Children are more likely to eat what they plant!
4. Let your kids help plan the menu.

Star Wars characters from Alpine Garrison showed children with special needs a great time as they interacted, gave high fives, and posed for photos. Super Kids lit up as Chandler Copenhaver of Kai Shi, Ogden showed them how to defeat a villain.
