Review Quotes

"As an occupational therapist and early childhood special education teacher, I can't wait to use the thematic sensorimotor activities in this book. Jenny Clark has developed group activities based on themes often used to motivate and teach young children the concepts and skills they need to learn in preschool and early elementary school. These activities have been made even more fun and motivating by the integration of a balance of sensory and motor components into each of the themes. If you work with young children, you will love this resource!" --Nancy E. Miller, M.Ed., OTR/L, Co-Author, Asperger Syndrome and Sensory Issues: Practical Solutions for Making Sense of the World

"The fun, stimulating, and engaging activities in this book provide a unique collaborative approach for working with early childhood special education/preschool children. Children learn linguistic, cognitive, and social/emotional skills at the same time sensory integration and motor skills are being worked on and refined. What a concept - working with the whole child, not just one area! Great!"--Gloria Bowersox, M.A., SLP

"As a team collaborator with Jenny Clark in providing group sensorimotor experiences in inclusive early childhood settings, I am so excited about the publication of this book! I see significant learning occurring in our students on both an individual and a group basis as they participate in the activities. Significant learning also occurs in our transdisciplinary team members as we collaborate and learn to release traditional roles and assume leadership during group. In addition to the ready-to-use activities presented, this well-organized resource provides a foundation on which to develop additional themes and the specific adaptations needed to meet the needs of individual students. It will be a well-used book in any professional library."--Lucinda H. Bainum, P.T.

"Learn to Move, Move to Learn! is a fabulous resource book jam-packed with useful information and engaging sensory integration activities that can be used to support children of diverse ages and abilities. The book is presented in a clear and user-friendly style making it accessible to parents and professionals alike."--Pamela Wolfberg, Ph.D., San Francisco State University & Autism Institute on Peer Relations and Play, Author, Play & Imagination in Children with Autism and Peer Play and the Autism Spectrum: The Art of Guiding Children s Socialization and Imagination
