Is This the Right Class for Your Child?

Understanding the difference between Adaptive (Sensory-Friendly) and Inclusive Classes:

​

​At Industry Gymnastics, all of our programs are rooted in inclusivity. That said, our Sensory-Friendly classes are not interchangeable with our Inclusive Cubs, Tigers, Jaguars, or Panthers classes—and here’s why.

​

Our Inclusive Classes (Cubs, Tigers, Jaguars, Panthers) are designed for children who:

​

• Can follow basic group instructions and safely explore equipment with minimal adult intervention.

• Thrive in a faster-paced, busier environment, where four classes may run simultaneously, with around 28 children in the gym.

• Are able to engage in structured skill-building progressions with fewer sensory modifications.

• Benefit from peer interaction and task-focused goals, with a 7:1 student-to-coach ratio and lower adult support.

​

In contrast, our Adaptive (Sensory-Friendly) Classes are specifically designed for children who:

​

• Benefit from more individualized support, often needing a trusted adult present and actively participating.

• Need a quieter, less stimulating space, with controlled lighting, sound, and visuals to help with regulation and focus.

• Require flexible structure to engage in movement at their own pace, with room for redirection, breaks, and sensory input (like swinging or jumping) before joining group activities.

• Thrive with a fair vs. equal approach—meaning we tailor strategies for each child, rather than applying the same expectations across the board.

​

We’re here to support every child, but creating the right match between class environment and individual needs is essential for safety, success, and joy.

Medical Note:

If your child has Down Syndrome, a completed Atlanto-Axial screening and medical clearance from your healthcare provider are required before participation.

​

If your child has mobility challenges (such as Cerebral Palsy), we encourage you to email us before registering so we can discuss whether our class structure and environment will be the right fit.
