Students at Goshen Lane Elementary School have a new way to recharge and re-focus during the day.
A couple of years ago, Amy Ellis, an occupational therapist at the school, put in a request for a sensory pathway to be built at Goshen Lane.
Sensory pathways are made up of intentionally planned or guided motor movements like jumping, crawling or just breathing, that are designed to give students a brain break, Ellis explained.
“The hope is that we would engage brain and body, different parts of the brain and body, to meet different sensory needs,” she said.
