SENTipede-Skate Park

Our village needs a skate park and it will need a lot of people to convince the parish council that there's a genuine demand. 

🛹 Now this is where you guys can help! 

🛹 I'm going to put forward why it's a great opportunity for the local community including SEN children and adults.

🛹 Here are the things I've thought of, but could you let me know if there's anything else you can think of?

💙 A great way for SEN children/ adults to build confidence/self esteem and courage 

🩵 Gain sensory input from jumping, pushing etc

💜 Great for coordination, balance and motor skills! 

* Proprioceptive sense (the sense of self-movement and body position). 

*Vestibular sense (the sense of balance and spatial orientation).

Therefore, aiding with processing their movement, balance, body awareness and spatial orientation.

💚 Somewhere safe to enjoy. 

Not on a road and room for impulsiveness

🩷 Feeling of being in control 

🧡 Not a group activity if person doesn't wish to be with others

💛 Can socialise/build friendships if they wish

🩶 Physical and mental workout. Improving general well-being. Therapeutic effects
