CHAMPIONS CLUB
Welcome to Champions
Champions Club is a premier ministry and developmental program for young people with special needs. This program is in partnership with Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church, where the Champions Club was originally launched in 2008. This program will meet the developmental needs of children in four important ways: SPIRITUALLY, INTELLECTUALLY, MENTALLY, and PHYSICALLY.

SENSORY
Sensory areas are created for Champions with specific sensory processing difficulties. The sensory room is a place where Champions can obtain input or the specific sensory experience that they need for daily functioning. The purpose of a sensory room is to calm or stimulate an individual through each of the senses. These rooms particularly benefit students who are on the autism spectrum.
FINE MOTOR
The Champions Club Fine Motor area is a place where Champions can develop their fine motor skills. Fine motor development is what is required to pick things up, use a pair of scissors, and learn how to use a pencil. As children get older, fine motor development is key in tying shoelaces, holding utensils, and buttoning and fastening clothes. These are school and life skills our Champions need to develop to be independent learners.
LARGE MOTOR
Many of our Champions need large motor stimulation. The Motor Room has equipment to meet this sensory need. As a child develops large motor skills, other skill areas are also developing, such as eye-hand/foot coordination, sensory functioning (visual, tactile, kinesthetic, auditory modalities), the skills to work and play within a team and sporting environment, and the development of self-confidence and a positive self image.
