Behavior In Motion provides a behavioral approach to special needs fitness, aimed at increasing physical coordination, strength, endurance, compliance, and social skills via individual and group sessions within a gymnastics environment.  Each client is given a proprietary assessment measuring various physical and social skills, then based on that assessment, a unique physical program plan is created to accurately track, monitor, and achieve their goals.

Our staff all possess experience working with children with special needs, and are trained in the principals of ABA.  They in turn are trained and supervised by the founder of Behavior in Motion, Jay Shields, MA-Education, Specialization in Applied Behavior Analysis.  While Behavior In Motion is celebrating its 5th year in business this July, Jay has been working and training others in special needs fitness for the last 16 years.
