With Learn to Move, Moving Up! Sensorimotor Elementary-Schoo/ Activity Themes, Jenny Clark widens the scope of her first book on sensorimotor activities for early childhood by providing sound and innovative activities that kids will not only love but also benefit from. As an extra welcome bonus, the activities are grounded in current educational theory, including Rtl and evidence-based practice.
"This book is a godsend for K-2 teachers! To get kids moving and learning, Jenny and her colleagues have assembled 30 sensory-rich, thematic lesson plans. These will surely inspire many 'in-sync' teachers not only to integrate sensory experiences into the school day, but also to develop creative lesson plans of their own to fit their curricula." --Carol Kranowitz, M.A., author of The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun and The Goodenoughs Get in Sync
"Jenny Clark has written another excellent book, this time for early-elementary students. Jenny combines practitioner- oriented activities with information that every school-based professional must know: evidence-based practices and Rtl. Learn to Move: Moving Up! has broad applicability to students with sensory motor needs and all who need to move." --Brenda Smith Myles, Ph.D., consultant with the Ziggurat Group, is an internationally acclaimed author and presenter in the field of autism spectrum disorders
"I am a devoted fan of practical materials for educators and parents, and this book is truly full of practical activities and ideas. The easy-to-use lesson plans make this book a must-have as educators find their planning time slipping away. To top it off, the book reviews some of the literature on sensory intervention for children with autism spectrum disorders, providing educators with an incredible tool in an evidence-based world." --Teresa A. Cardon, M.A. CCC-SLP, faculty research associate, Arizona State University, and author of Top Ten Tips - A Survival Guide for Families with Children on the Autism Spectrum, Let's Talk Emotions, and Initiations and Interactions: Early Intervention Techniques for Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
"What an honor to be asked to review Learn to Move, Moving Up! Not only is the book very informative; it is also practical ... and fun. Jenny Clark Brack's years of school-based experience are evident throughout the book, and her multidisciplinary approach would be helpful to all teachers and related service providers in the school setting. The book provides an entire year's worth of thematic lessons for a classroom. This book is a must-have for both parents and professionals." --Jennifer Barnhart, Ph.D., director of special education, Three Lakes Educational Cooperative, Lyndon, Kansas
"Learn to Move, Moving Up! offers teachers and therapists an abundance of possibilities for their students with sensory processing disorders in inclusive, fun, and creative ways. I look forward to sharing the book in my workshops. --Diana A. Henry, MS, OTR/L, FAOTA, author of Tools for Teachers, Tools for Students and Tools for Parents
