Sit & be fit is the fine and gross motor skills of exercising in a chair.

It encourages an individual to maintain body movements through ‘doing’,

Gives an individual the opportunity to listen to meaningful fun music through being,

Interact with other people, and feel a sense of belonging to a group that you can call a family.
