The Power of Play and Movement




Join us for an interactive and practical training designed specifically for special education educators on setting up and effectively using a motor lab with young children. Movement is the foundation for learning, impacting everything from focus and self-regulation to fine motor skills and academic readiness. This session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to transform any space—from a classroom corner to a hallway—into a dynamic "Motor Lab" that supports children's holistic development.

Important Session Information:


Objectives:

  • Explore the science-backed benefits of motor labs.
  • Learn how to design and organize a motor lab in your existing space, utilizing low-cost and easily accessible equipment.
