Halloween Sensory Exploration 🎃🕷️🕸️

This week, our students and classrooms collaborated in a variety of Halloween-inspired activities connected to this month’s Social Butterfly Club sensory exploration theme!

From feeling and exploring the different textures of pumpkins to creating festive art projects, students had opportunities to engage their senses, express their creativity, and learn through hands-on experiences.

The Halloween fun continued in the ADS greenhouse, where a special Halloween Sensory Exhibit was created in DLS for our students to explore! 🎃🍂

We love seeing our students learn, discover, create, and connect through meaningful experiences that make learning fun!

Every Movement is a Milestone🌟 : PT & OT Collaboration 🤝

In this video, one of our amazing students works alongside our occupational and physical therapists to strengthen essential skills, including gross and fine motor skills, muscle strength, grasp, and coordination.

These therapeutic services play a vital role in helping our students build independence, develop functional skills, and participate more confidently in everyday activities. From reaching and grasping to building strength and improving coordination, every session creates opportunities for growth! 💪🏽✨

Thank you to our ADS Related Services Team for meeting each student where they are and helping them reach their fullest potential! 🦋

A special thank you to the Gloucester County Sheriff’s Office for spending time with our students and making Red Ribbon Week extra special! ❤

🎃 Fall Fun for Everyone! 🍂🤗

From our preschoolers to our secondary students, Community Based Instruction at ADS helps every student grow, learn, and experience joy!

Our students had a wonderful time visiting Duffields Farm Market, where they enjoyed pony rides and fun fall activities while exploring new environments. 🐴

Beyond the fun, these experiences provide valuable opportunities for students to practice social skills, build confidence, develop communication, explore their community, and strengthen everyday skills.

A special thank you to Pony Tyme, our staff, parents, and everyone who collaborated to create a memorable experience for our students. 🦋💙
