Ready Bodies, Learning Minds© Motor-Sensory Labs and Classrooms: Concepts, Strategies and Applications for the School
Athena Oden, PT
12
Contact Hours - Intro/Intermediate Level
This course is offered for 1.2 ASHA CEUs (Various Level, Related Area)
8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
This program was created to support the developmental, motor, sensory, and academic growth of all students—special education, at-risk and regular education. In a pro-active manner, this research-based strategy is being used as a Response to Intervention resource and program.
The Ready Bodies, Learning Minds© program emphasizes the powerful and essential connection between motor and sensory development and the ability to perform the many tasks necessary for independence, behavioral control and academic achievement. Limited attention span, poor posture, restlessness, problems with spatial relationships, behavior issues, and slow academic progress are common signs of an immature neurological system. The results of a research study involving approximately 200 students and the Ready Bodies Motor Lab (completed during the ‘02-’03 school year) will also be discussed. Videos of motor lab examples and classroom strategies will be reviewed.
The Ready Bodies Motor Labs are designed to be implemented as an individual intervention to be used by a therapist, as a classroom center or activity, or as a campus-wide curriculum. The program is simple to administer, does not require specific referrals, and can be used for all students. The second day includes further development of the theoretical framework along with multiple demonstrations of lab set-up and activities.
