Physical activity is the hallmark of MAC. Participants receive individualized physical activity programming (one to two instructors per participant) based on their abilities. Activities vary for each individual, but participants focus primarily on building gross and fine motor development, physical fitness, swimming, and activity tolerance.

Instructors
MAC participants receive instruction from IU Indianapolis students. Some student instructors participate in MAC as the lab portion of an upper-level kinesiology course, while others are volunteers. All student instructors receive training and are supervised by clinic staff.
I remember feeling so lucky that IU Indianapolis offered this one-of-a-kind program... I loved sharing achievements with parents and watching kids/teens have a blast without knowing they were working on motor skills! This early experience boosted my confidence and drive to become an occupational therapist.
