=MONTHLY UPDATE - APRIL=

Hi everyone! Our MOVE team have decided to try and give you guys a monthly update and share some of the creative and inspiring ideas our staff and students have found for getting up and MOVING within their daily programs. So enjoy sharing in our students success. We hope you see something you and your students can use. We would love any feedback and to hear your good ideas.

 Walkers give students great access to the garden, where they can practise walking on uneven surfaces. Getting in and out of the hydrotherapy pool provides an opportunity to practise walking up stairs.

One of our School Captains uses his Rifton Pacer to take part in our ANZAC Assembly. A great opportunity to reduce arm prompts while standing.

The power of motivation!!! Waiting for his friends to come past on the way to the playground, provides a great opportunity to practise sit to stand and standing with a prompt.

Playing bean bag shotput is a fun way to integrate the Pacer into activities. We are reducing prompts while weight bearing by using our hands to launch the beanbag.

An opportunity to throw a boomerang during a recent excursion is the perfect chance to practise standing and walking on uneven ground.
