Description
Motor Labs and Sensory Paths
Every year, students exhibit increased challenges in motor skills, attention, visual skills, and behavior. Research also indicates an increase in childhood obesity. The addition of school-wide movement initiatives, such as motor labs and sensory paths, can promote healthy school climates needed for learning. School-based occupational therapists have the expertise to increase participation in school routines and design programs to improve function and inclusion. It is their responsibility to collaborate with a variety of school partners to support student success and contribute to both general and special education. This course reviews the research to encourage using these school-wide movement initiatives. It also provides specific strategies for adding motor labs and sensory paths into your school environment.
