Does anyone else enjoy skating. I have started going to a quad roller skating group (discos!). I also now go to an in-line skating group which goes out into the parks in the better weather. I've always enjoyed ice skating although don't go that often as I could never find skates that didn't hurt my feet.
I find skating wonderful exercise and it is especially good for developing the 'core muscles' in the stomach area as well as strengthening the legs and improving the balance.
I have not been to any classes but in typical Autie or Aspie fashion I can learn by teaching myself and can now skate backwards.
Hi all, I am just launching a quad roller skate business. Our centre has approached us to deliver sessions that are sensory friendly. I’m based in Bham [removed by Moderator]. All feedback, comments and support would be great. Thanks x
We love the idea that we could offer extra sessions to include everyone who loves to skate x
