Fine motors skills support and practice
Fine and gross motor skill interventions are targeted approaches that support the development of coordination, strength, and control in both small and large muscle movements.
Through structured activities and practice, they help individuals improve skills such as handwriting, balance, and physical coordination, enabling greater independence and participation in everyday tasks and learning.

Movement breaks
Movement breaks are short, planned opportunities for physical activity integrated into the school day to support focus, regulation, and wellbeing.
By allowing individuals to move, stretch, or engage in simple exercises, they help reduce restlessness, improve concentration, and support readiness for learning.

Sensory circuits
Sensory circuits are structured programmes of physical activities designed to support sensory processing, regulation, and readiness to learn.
Typically involving a sequence of alerting, organising, and calming activities, they help individuals improve focus, coordination, and self-regulation, setting them up for successful participation in learning.

Environmental adaptations and accessibility
Adaptations for physical needs in schools involve making thoughtful changes to the physical environment to ensure accessibility, safety, and independence for all individuals.
This may include adjustments such as adapted equipment, seating, layout, and access to resources, helping to remove barriers and enable full participation in learning and school life.
