Postural Care A to Z Free Resource

Another great resource found on Facebook. This resource was shared by
Sparkle Occupational Therapy. It is an award winning document entitled The A
to Z of Postural Care from the University of Kent. The document discusses
various types of adaptive equipment, manual handling, emotional support,
inclusive education and the golden rules about equipment use. Then it goes
through each letter of the alphabet discussing postural tips and facts ie A is for
alignment, ask, ability and attitudes.

Classroom Activity Posters: a collection of 16 exercise activities, 4 large
posters and a brief, simple video demonstration of each exercise. The posters
are divided into four groups: posture, alerting, ready to work and focus/balance.
All of the exercises are performed in standing. Try these activities prior to
starting fine motor activities, for posture breaks, to refocus students attention
and for vestibular/ proprioceptive input in the classroom.
