West Essex AYLUS special needs children event – holiday ice skating on Dec. 23rd, 2022

On Dec. 23rd, 2022, West Essex AYLUS members invited special needs children to Codey arena holiday public skating session.  Codey arena is located in West Orange, NJ.

The arena played holiday music for the public session, however it was very loud that the special needs child was hesitated to go on ice. Some of our members stayed with the child while the other went on ice to show him it is ok to skate with the music.  Once on ice, the child was holding onto the wall.  Our volunteers stayed with him and waited till he was comfortable to skate.  After the first hour, the special need child was able to skate with our volunteers.

West Essex members: Jasmine Chen, Victoria Chen, Joselyn Kwan and Kaylen Lee (2 hours each)
