“Westport Y Puts Special Focus On Special Needs”
Dan Woog, local blogger and Westporter, wrote a beautiful article about the Westport Weston Family YMCA’s focus on Special Needs.
Every day — at all hours — the Westport Weston Family YMCA pulses with activity.
The gym, pool, spin center, yoga and fitness rooms — all are filled with boys and girls, men and women, all active to whatever degree of intensity works for them.
It’s a friendly, vibrant place. Many members come regularly. They greet fellow basketball players, swimmers, runners and Zumbaists with smiles and waves.
Some of the heartiest greetings go to members with special needs. They may be in wheelchairs, or come in groups with aides. They may talk loudly, or not at all. All are welcome at the Y.
