These materials will help my students to mastering both their fine and gross motor skills which are so important for children with disabilities. It will also help them in achieving their independence which will allow them to have more opportunities to explore the world around them.
Most children with special needs tend to develop their gross motor skills later than their typical peers. They may have problems with their balance, body strength, and coordination. Although their gross motor skills may be delayed, these children have a desire to engage in daily physical activities just as their typical peers. Having toys such as a trike or balance beam can increase their strength, balance, and coordination.
When children with special needs work on their gross motor skills, their fine motor skills improve as well. Here are a few activities that I would like to do with my students to improve their gross motor development:
Trikes
• Obstacle course
• Straight line relay
• Trike parade
Balance Beam
• Follow the leader and walk the length of the balance beam.
• Turn sideways and walk the length of the beam.
• Try to walk backwards the whole length of the beam.
