My Project

This self sustaining rock climbing wall will help all my students to develop their gross motor skills in a positive way. It will be used indoors in our sensory room.

Many students with Autism need positive pressure output and ways to stimulate their Vagal nerve.

When students are provided with a safe place to hang upside down, use cross body movement, and climbing up and down from structures; it improves their ability to self regulate, define their big muscles, build stamina, and release energy. Many students need to continually work on hand and eye coordination, this rock wall provides a fun and stimulating way to do just that.

This rock wall is an investment in the future of physical fitness, coordination, and emotional regulation for students in special education.
