The Adventure Trails
The Adventure Trails e-book offers fun activities that challenge kids to do movements related to vestibular, proprioceptive, and tactile processing; midline crossing; and bilateral coordination.
Today’s parents and educators may be surprised by how many kids find these simple movements difficult or even impossible to do. To better understand how these movements correlate to a child’s overall behavior, focus, coordination, academic performance, and attention, the e-book presents a Brain-Processing Connection page for each of the e-book’s 12 Adventure Trails packages.
Support Pages are also presented in each package. These pages list Red Flags that give parents and educators insight on how children with poor sensory integration and developmental delays often do the activities. The pages also provide modifications so that these kids still experience success.
Cover Pages show a photo of each activity presented in the package. Since the Adventure Trails is an e-book, parents and educators can click on each photo to see a brief video clip of the movement on their computer screen. This, along with each activity’s written directions, makes it effortless to learn how to present each movement challenge to the kids.
The e-book additionally presents suggestions for ways to use the Adventure Trails with the content curriculum, as physical education stations, for birthday parties, and more.
The last chapter of the e-book presents easy-to-read articles on brain organization, primitive reflexes, and sensory processing. This information is not usually readily accessible to parents and educators in such a simple format.
Our experience has shown that once parents and educators begin to make the connection between brain development and movement, they are motivated to learn more. In that way, the Adventure Trails could be considered an appetizer to the more comprehensive, multi-media Brain Highways core curriculum.
