My Project
My adaptive physical education students thrive with variety of equipment in class, for a not one size fits all approach to learning. One of the objectives is for students to be actively engaged in all lessons. This can be a challenge sometimes, because some students might be afraid of balance beams or spooner boards for vestibular input activities. As a teacher, I want to provide my students with lots of choices, for the same objective. Students will have access to giant tops during fitness activities and/or anytime in the calm down corner.
The giant tops give my students a more secure feel for vestibular input activities such as: spinning, rocking, and balancing.
Vestibular input is important for every student, but especially our adaptive physical education students. These students are working towards gaining more independence with mobility. The giant tops can also be used for self regulation of emotions. A student who is sad or angry, could use the giant top to self regulate the big emotions, and return to activity when calm.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
