Join us for an engaging session that explores experiential learning principles through adaptive tools in movement practices, focusing on exploration and variability to enhance physical literacy and support diverse learning needs. We will introduce adaptive tools such as movement games, partner exercises, and interconnected mobility, all designed to facilitate problem-solving and adaptability within the solution space. This approach allows participants to engage dynamically with their bodies, enhance their dexterity, and explore various degrees of freedom in movement.

An overview of the experiential learning cycle will demonstrate its effective application in movement training, emphasizing hands-on experiences and reflection while highlighting the importance of adaptability in skill acquisition. The session will include hands-on demonstrations showcasing specific tools like the practice ball, belt, and wooden sticks. Additionally, we will repurpose common sports objects to create a variety of adaptive tools for play, enabling attendees to experience their effectiveness firsthand and gain insights into improving coordination, elastic strength, kinetic potential, power exploration, and dynamic flexibility.

We will also discuss strategies for creating inclusive learning environments that cater to diverse participant needs, with techniques for providing constructive feedback and encouraging self-reflection to enhance overall learning outcomes. This presentation is ideal for educators, coaches, and practitioners looking to diversify their teaching methods. Join us to discover innovative ways to empower learners through adaptive tools and promote a holistic approach to movement education!
