This book contains easy-to-use activities for therapists, educators and carers to provide fun and engaging sensorimotor groups for students with movement and sensory dysfunction. The activities span an entire year with a different main activity for each week. Themed by season, the activities can be linked to the school year and incorporated into the classroom. The activities promote socialisation, postural strengthening, improvement of gross and fine motor skills, and self-regulation of the body. Comprehensive instructions on how to run a group are included, as well as benefits and adaptations for severely affected individuals and wheelchair users. There are sensory-regulating warm-up appetizers to increase body awareness and prepare the students for movement; main course activities to strengthen fine and gross motor skills; and cool-down desserts to regulate the body and assimilate benefits gained during group activities. The activities are suitable for use with any school-age students, including those without movement difficulties, but are especially beneficial for students with mild to moderate motor disabilities, who exhibit increased difficulty functioning in a group setting.

"easy to read resource...fantastic ideas...introduction really useful...an easy book to use." Penhurst School, Chipping Norton "Impressed with the breadth of ideas...clearly set out...would also help provide ideas for other curriculum areas." Frank Wise School, Banbury "the book would provide a good starting point for students and inexperienced staff to implement sensorimotor activities into their practice." NAPOT 'The activities are orientated towards children with mild to moderate motor disabilities whose difficulties increase in group settings.' - Isabelle Beaudry Bellefeuille, Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists 'I felt this book would be most useful for school-based therapists who are looking for an alternative to the traditional exercise-based sensorimotor group programme.' - Sally Payne, Head Occupational Therapist, Solihull Primary Care Trust, British Journal of Occupational Therapy 'Good activities for a motor group.' - Bardwell School, Bicester
