Yesterday Lynsey Taylor came in to share her Smart Moves programme. She built on her last presentation about Primitive Reflexes and the learning issues around the lack of these.
Smart Moves can address lots of these learning issues with the added benefit of little or no equipment.
One big takeaway was asking the student to draw a picture of themselves and write. Then redo this in 6 weeks time. The example she showed us was pretty amazing in regards to detail and body awareness in the second drawing, improved writing capability and moving 4 reading levels as well.
We will add some of the Smart Moves exercises in at the beginning of learning times and in transition times to start with. Then as we explore the resource and tap into student needs we can expand from there.
