Join us for a fun morning of jumping and Community building with your Stanislaus County TBODS Family.

We will be meeting at Get Air in Turlock and TBODS will pay for your two hour jump time along with some snacks for the family!

From the Get Air Website:

We offer a dedicated time just for jumpers with special needs. Music is played at a lower volume and the park’s atmosphere is calmer. One parent or guardian can support jumpers on the trampoline for free. Siblings of jumpers are welcome to jump for the same price, but should be more careful during this time.

.We have designed our trampoline parks with special needs as a primary focus, creating inclusive playgrounds where kids of all ages and abilities can come together in an environment that facilitates shared play and fun. Our goal is for Get Air Sports to be a place where kids can just be kids. We hope you’ll join us! When you arrive, or call beforehand, talk to one of our team members and we’ll ensure proper accommodations are made to create a fun and enjoyable experience for all.

Special Time Just For You is for special needs jumpers and their families.

Are you finding yourself struggling to understand the IEP process and your parental rights? Are you concerned that your kiddo is not benefiting from your districts placement? Maybe you have a list of questions or perhaps this year will be your first IEP for your child, either way, we want you here!

We have invited a friend of TBODS, Parent Advocate Megan Beckhart, who has served many of our families with her services in the central valley. Megan has 10+ years of experience advocating for children with disabilities and wants to help our families learn how to advocate for themselves and answer specific questions you may have! This event will be held at Ceres Christian Church in Ceres, Ca.

Are you interested in meeting up with other parents in the Stanislaus county without your sweet kiddos interrupting the fun? Join your Stan county community group at our annual “kid-free” night out. These “kid-free” times are often very special and a way for families to dive deeper into connections and have those meaningful conversations about our lives with Down syndrome. Hope you can make it out to Surla’s in Modesto, Ca on Friday March 7th at 6 PM.
