Gel-Maze
The gel-maze provides the child the
opportunity to move a marble through a
maze pattern. This activity offers the
sensory feeling of gel, the opportunity to
project the path of the marble, and
introduces the child to linear geometry.
All of these activities contribute to brain
stimulation, improved eye/hand
coordination, increased finger strength,
dexterity, reduced boredom and anxiety.

What is Sensory Integration?
Sensory integration is a theory developed by A Jean Ayres, an occupational therapist with training in neuro science and,
educational psychology. Ayres defines sensory integration as a "neurological process that organizes sensation from ones
own body and from the environment thus making it possible to use the body effectively within the environment". This
theory helps explain the relationship between the brain and behavior and helps explain how and why individuals respond to
various sensory inputs.
The five main senses are: Touch, Sound, Sight, Taste, & Smell.
Two other powerful senses are:
1. Vestibular - Movement and balance sense.
Provides feedback where the head and body are in relationship to external space.
2. Proprioception - Joint and muscle sense.
Provides feedback where and what the body parts are doing.
Since many special needs children are deprived of normal proprioception in the fingers it makes it difficult to manage
fine motor tasks which is needed to write well, button clothing and other important tasks. Activities that support fine motor
control of the hand and fingers are an important part of physical rehabilitation.
