Proprioception Lesson & Balloon Challenges and Stereognosis Lesson

Some kids need intense and frequent movement and it’s important for them to understand why. Proprioception is the sense that tells us where our bodies are and what our joints and muscles are doing- it’s how we can touch our nose without looking. Many kids seek movement to their joints and muscles because they need more proprioceptive input to feel balanced and regulated- it can also enhance focus and attention. This lesson teaches kids about this important sense and the following exercises let them experience how this type of sensory input and awareness feels. This download also includes a bonus resource on stereognosis, our ability to identify objects by touch- these two senses work closely together for som many important skills.
