A movement based program will positively impact the well-being and social and emotional growth of all students with special needs. Research has found that regularly scheduled movement breaks throughout the day and movement between and during lessons results in more engaged students who can more easily focus on and retain what they are supposed to be learning. Movement also helps children regulate/adjust their energy. Proper equipment and space are essential for the ability of students to participate fully and safely in the movement activities. It is important for students to feel comfortable and to have the sense that this class is providing them with something different from a typical class, so that they will be willing to engage unselfconsciously in the program. The recumbent bike and the under the desk bike will give my students a means of movement while reading and participating in their lessons without distraction. I am excited to give my students tools to be successful in school.
