It takes moxie, patience, and a shining virtue to advance the Sparkle Effect, and I know these same attributes can be found in Newman's Cheerleaders.”

Congratulations!

 

You are taking the first step toward starting your own school-based cheerleading or dance team that includes students with disabilities. Although we originally created The Sparkle Effect so that we might play a part in enhancing social, communication, and physical skills in students with disabilities, we now see the tremendous positive impact that Sparkle Effect programs have on entire student bodies and communities. It's exciting to know that you will soon experience The Sparkle Effect as you seize this amazing, life-changing opportunity!

We are confident that our Quick-Start kit will give you all of the information and tools you will need to start your own team. Sparkle Effect teams are truly inclusive: typically-developing students and students with disabilities practice and perform together as one team at school sporting events. Rest assured, we stand ready to answer questions and provide guidance to you every step of the way.

That's the Sparkle Effect. Are you IN?

President, The Sparkle Effect
