The Weekly Wellness Program meets twice a week for an hour, with recommended ages of 12 to 18 in the 2024 spring session and 14 to 22 in the fall, and outings may include restaurants, movies, bowling, farmers markets and fitness gyms to build social, functional and motor skills. Participation is capped so each child gets direct instruction. Sessions are led by an adapted PE teacher who is first aid and CPR trained. The program does not bill insurance; Self-Determination Program funds through the regional center can be used, and it is considered a Social Recreation Program by Harbor Regional Center. A 6-week session was posted at $1,600 and 8-week sessions at $1,500.","categories":["special-needs","social-skills","sports","cooking"],"ages":{"min":12,"max":21},"format":"in-person","price":{"amount":1500,"unit":"program","note":"Posted 2024 rate for an 8-week, 16-session block; a 6-week, 12-session block was $1,600."},"afterschool":{"meetings":[{"location":"main","days":["tue","thu"],"start":"16:00","end":"17:00"}]},"traits":{"specialNeeds":"focused","groupSize":["small-group","one-on-one"],"goals":["social","fitness","independence","life-skills","confidence"],"staff":["credentialed-teachers","first-aid"],"insurance":["self-pay"],"parents":"drop-off","commitment":"term","feel":"Small-group outings and fitness and cooking sessions led by an adapted PE teacher, with parents encouraged to watch from a distance to build independence.","topics":["peers","adapted-pe","self-determination-program","harbor-regional-center","community-outings","nutrition","south-bay","yoga","social-recreation"],"delivery":["community"]}}],"source":{"url":"https://mindfulmovementandhealth.org","fetched":"2026-10-12"},"updated":"2026-10-12","checked":null,"closed":null,"sample":false}
