Children with sensory processing disorder struggle to process sensory input from the world around them and, as a result, their basic motor skills are often impacted. Written by an occupational therapist, this book is based on the principles of sensory integration, with each session addressing motor, language, sensory, cognitive and social/emotional skills.
Jam packed with creative theme-based group lessons, this resource follows a sensory integrated developmental sequence consisting of seven activities related to the theme. For maximum flexibility, suggestions for adaptation and modification for individual students are included, along with instructions for how to develop additional lessons. Finally, a chapter on school readiness skills shows how the lessons prepare children for later success in school.
The optional Sing, Move, Learn CD features 25 lively songs that accompany the themed lesson plans in the book.
Also available is a companion DVD - Learn to Move, Move to Learn: Dinosaurs. Gives a first-hand view of real children engaged in a dinosaur theme-based sensorimotor lesson and thus sparks ideas for other similar activities.
