Suraj’s Chess for Kids with Special Needs
Intermediate Class
November 3, 10, 17, 24 | 4:30pm – 5:30pm
Beginner Class
November 6, 20, 27 | 2:30pm – 3:30pm
Local teen Suraj will teach chess to your special needs child! Why chess for your kid?
Teaching chess to students has very little to do with the rules of the game. It is much more about their development. The key to teaching chess to someone with Autism is communication, creating a world so small that it becomes purely about the 64 squares in front of them. Clear rules and structure provide safety when they attempt this new game. They discover it is safe to talk about their plan of attack, how they will defend their king, and what they will be doing next with the person they are playing with.
Each session will build off of knowledge from the previous session. By signing your child up, you are committing to attending all sessions.
Library BINGO
November 4, 5 | All Day
