The Drive Thru Menu Attention and Strength Exercises provide teachers and parents with a flexible program for students, organizing sensory input and upper body strength building. Selecting and participating in the exercises prior to academic tasks allow children to perform successfully. As students become familiar with the exercises, they discover what works for them and then choose the exercises that help them maintain alertness and motor skills. The Attention Menu exercises help students who have a hard time paying attention, settling down, waiting in line, or staying focused while working independently. The Strength Menu exercises help students who have poor pencil grip, illegible handwriting, difficulty opening packages, using tools such as scissors, paper clips,staplers, etc.
Kit: Contains one Attention Wall Poster and one Strength Wall Poster, as well as a Leader's Manual.
Each 19 ½" x 27" poster displays a menu of 10 exercises. The Leader's Manual provides all the information needed to conduct the program. It is divided, like the posters into 2 main sections. Each section lists the 10 exercises from the poster, explains its purpose, how to prepare for the exercise, how to do the exercise and possible ways to vary and adapt the exercises.
