About Specialcise

An exercise program with a difference.

We all have special qualities and people with developmental disabilities need to be fit and active just like their typically developing peers. At Specialcise our specifically tailored programs are designed to not only meet typical exercise goals such as  increasing fitness and strength, building muscle and confidence;  but we have also incorporated important brain development exercises like crossing the midline along with necessary fine motor, gross motor and core development exercises.
