Imagine having a radio on really loud while trying to teach a child to read. It is nearly impossible, and you might even get a little anxiety, right? The muscles tense, you might become agitated, start talking a little louder, maybe faster or slower, and then you can't even function to answer a question. What is happening to you is your body's response to a stimuli, but luckily you can turn the radio off, and your body adjusts. Kids with sensory processing disorders can't just simply turn off the radio of their brain. They need a brain break. - The Sensory Path By taking the sensory overloaded kid to this path, they will complete a series of movements as they move through the path that are designed to release the blocked paths and allow the body and brain to refocus. My goal is to have a sensory pathway in place for students to access throughout the school day. This engaging pathway will allow our students to take a movement break when needed. Tasks as simple as walking in line can be difficult for kids who struggle with sensory processing and who are impulsive, have spatial difficulties, and struggle with recognizing their own bodies.
