An ideal motor lab room will have calm themes throughout the year like "Under the Sea", "Winter Wonderland" or " "Springtime" and have items like blue floor mats spread across the floor, a balance beam, bosu balls, balance pods, bean bag chairs, ball pit, small trampoline and individual lesson items readily available to partake in motor activities. For instance when conducting a Springtime lesson it would be broken up into the following activities: 1: Warm up-scholars use play garden tools and walk a wheel barrow across the room to collect a tool. 2: Vestibular- scholars act like rabbits and hop across the mat and over pretend vegetables. 3: Proprioception-scholars will act like a vegetable ready to sprout by crouching on the floor on their back and placing a bean bag chair on them as they slowly push up off the ground. 4: Balance: scholars will walk across the balance beam while picking up pretend vegetables from the floor and placing at the end of the beam in a picnic basket. 5: Eye hand-coordination-scholars will take turns tossing pretend vegetables in a picnic basket from different distances. Without a motor lab our scholars are often times not able to participate with the general Physical Education class due to their limitations and feel left out. Well planned motor lessons are proven to engage learners with special needs and can be adapted to their physical abilities. This motor lab would mean they can be pushed to their physical level thus creating a scholar who feels confident, accomplished and ready to take on learning challenges.
