Body Activated Learning
Supporting Attention and Engagement in Children
The Body Activated Learning Framework by Aubrey Schmalle takes a new approach to designing sensory support plans for children at home and in school. The framework groups movement into four categories: Energize, Activate, Restore, and Regroup. By optimizing the types of movement activities children engage in, you can give them the body foundation for regulation, attention, and engagement. The book may be categorized as parenting books or mental health books on different platforms, but the focus of the book is only to engage kids as much as possible.
