Adapted Physical Education Sensory Success Project for Special Needs

Help me give my students a great experience that will improve their gross motor development and overall health and well-being, through the use of a specialized equipment- a swing and weighted blanket; when they attend adapted physical education classes.

My Students

I am an itinerant adapted physical education teacher and evaluator. I service mentally and/or physically disabled students ages Pre-K through 8th grade.

The students I work with include students with visual impairments, autism, severe/profound and moderate intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, spina bifida and multiple disabilities.

The students are an inspiration to us all. They are resilient, have a smile on their faces every day and are always ready for a new challenge. They are very tolerant of each other's differences, and usually eager to help one another.

My Project

Students with gross motor disabilities will benefit from specialized equipment that will improve their sensorimotor deficits. Specialized equipment such as sensorimotor swings and weighted blankets will stimulate sensorimotor development. The students need opportunities to improve vestibular integration and kinesthetic integration. I would like my project to focus on how movement activities are involved in sensorimotor stimulation and perceptual-motor development; thereby contributing to their overall gross motor development. Students with autism, behavior issues and multi-disabilities will benefit most from this project. Most of my students come from low income communities and face challenges every day that are beyond their control. I would like to create an environment in my class room that creates a safe, happy and peaceful experience while improving their gross motor developement.
