ADAPTIVE gymnastics classes are giving Logan youngsters like four-year-old Dexter Grant an opportunity to shine.
Dexter has Autism and ADHD and attends sessions at FunFit Gymnastics in Springwood as part of the Move it Logan program.
His mother, Bec Grant, said Dexter loved the sessions.
"Not only is (coach) Helen (Page) amazing at what she does but she understands kids with special needs," Mrs Grant said.
"She incorporates all elements of therapies into her sessions and we have seen such an improvement with Dexter since he started with her.
"Dexter has low muscle tone and weak stomach and back muscles and struggles with his fine and gross motor skills and his speech.
"He's following instructions, working on his social skills and speech and getting that physical activity that is so important for his development.
"Helen is so passionate and really goes out of her way with Dexter.
"We are so happy with Dexter's progress and are so appreciative that he is part of this amazing program.
"I love it and would recommend it to everyone."
Dexter attends the class every Wednesday morning.
Coach Helen Page said she was pleased to help kids like Dexter.
