Wake’, with activities to help children wake up and
refocus. The second section is ‘Active Bodies, Active
Minds’, with activities that link movement to a selection
of curriculum areas. The final section is ‘Simmer down
to a Frenzy’, with activities to help overexcited children

 About the authors and a
background to the book…
The authors, Sharon Drew
and Liz Atter are both
experienced therapists wh

number of years with child a
ren with a variety of differen
learning abilities and difficu t
lties. They firmly believe in
use of everyday activities in the
order to improve interventio
outcomes, in particular by n
working in ‘context’. For
children this generally mean
s working within the schoo
setting, hence the need to l
have activities which can be
inclusive and easy for educ
ation staff to introduce with
minimal equipment and dis
ruption. This has also given
them a more ‘realistic’ view
