SMART-4-Kidz
SMART-4-Kidz (Stress Management And Relaxation Technique’s for Children and Adolescents) is a carefully designed and researched program that helps kids moderate the daily stresses that challenge us all these days.
Child/community psychologist Michael Portney developed SMART-4-Kidz. Trials in New York and Colorado have shown that SMART-4-Kidz is an effective method of improving the well being of kids by reducing anxiety, increasing focus, and helping to create positive beliefs about themselves and their ability to approach future opportunities with confidence. Kids become more productive students, contributors to their community, and feel better about their future.
SMART-4-Kidz is a unique hybrid of stretching, dance movement, exercise, secularized yoga poses, breathing techniques, creative activities and guided relaxation to story telling.
Classes will be held at The New York Society for Ethical Culture (NYSEC is a sponsor of SMART-4-Kidz), 2 W64th Street and at Namaste Yoga 371 Amsterdam Ave at 77th St.starting Sept.20.
Registration is now open. Call 212 595 KIDZ, 718 369 SMART or go to: www.smart4kidz.org.

Adaptive Design Association
The mission of the Adaptive Design Association (ADA) is to ensure that children with disabilities obtain the customized equipment they need to participate fully in home, school, and community life. Currently, children with disabilities routinely go without the adaptive equipment to which they are legally entitled, even though it could be produced with affordable materials in schools or in the community. ADA finds this shortfall unnecessary and unacceptable, and works to correct it by providing training in adaptive design and construction, building child-specific adaptive equipment in a community-based workshop, and advocating a broad-based increase in adaptive design services and education.
