They really go above and beyond and that was highlighted during the Covid crisis.  Aidan&#8217;s home is just downstairs from us and we still see him every day.  He&#8217;s still being homeschooled (comes home every school day) and stays overnight on weekends.  Its been a great arrangement. A bit tough during Covid but things are good again and I sure hope there won&#8217;t be another lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its hard to believe but Aidan will be 17 in a couple of days! He&#8217;s had some physical setbacks over the last couple years (broken tibia, uncontrolled seizures and growth spurt).  But he still has his infectious smile and a &#8220;can-do&#8221; attitude. He loves a challenge and he definitely loves to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aidan&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ACueMhFVGHU\">documentary video<\/a> has reached over 700,000 views on Youtube!  The film has inspired parents &amp; professionals from around the world to come to the <a href=\"http:\/\/adaptedspiralpraxis.com\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"adaptedspiralpraxis.com\">Spiral Movement Centre<\/a> to learn about our cutting edge somatic techniques and how Adapted Spiral Praxis can help children with special needs &amp; disabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The City requested people not go out for Halloween due to Covid-19.
