= Calming Sensory Seekers = Just Right Strategy Summary = Alerting www.sensationalbrain.com BrainWorks Power Point! Movement fuels the brain. Use activities with green arrows during “Work the Body” breaks and then keep the momentum going with yellow arrow activities during learning time. Remember: Intensity matters! BrainWorks Strategy #1: Work the Body Allow 10-20 minute “WORK THE BODY” breaks for more intense vestibular (movement) and proprioceptive input about every two hours. This is the time to provide the green arrow activities to allow the brain to get the intense input it needs. BrainWorks Strategy #2: Work the Brain Use seat-based activities that allow movement and sensory input during learning time. BrainWorks Strategy #3: Work the Room Provide seating near instruction. Allow standing or floor sitting during work tasks. Provide a “Study Buddy” to help keep student on task. Use classroom strategies that allow sensory input while promoting focus and attention.
