Description
Do you use band in your class or therapy room? Using therabands or therapy bands are an excellent way to help with strength, self regulation and getting movement in a small space. The Resistance Band Exercises for Kids PDF packet features nine exercises that help to support student success.
Created by an experienced school-based OT, Elizabeth Rizki Kosek, OTD, OTR/L., this packet was inspired by her work in special education and general education classrooms.
Some of these exercises help to give proprioceptive input with students using the input on themselves. Other exercises support strength and balance. These exercises can easily be taught to children and staff. You must have a THERABAND or THERAPY BAND to do these exercises.
