The reason we start all of our sessions having the kids create their own obstacle courses ⬇️⬇️
1. Creating, planning, adjusting, and sequencing the steps of the obstacle course are called “executive functioning skills” and they are necessary for managing projects at school or at home, managing emotions, and navigating social interactions. If you want your child to make decisions, be flexible, and problem solve, I recommend this activity!
2. We work on SO many motor skills in one circuit. Crawling, pushing, balancing, jumping, target throwing, reflex integration (more on that later)
3. Sensory!!! Heavy work for grounding and regulating, balance and head inversion to activate our vestibular systems, touch, visual, and auditory. When we work multiple sensory systems together (multi sensory integration), we improve learning, memory, and safety!
