Abstract	Because sensorimotor and environmental factors have a profound effect on children's learning, every teacher should know how to weave strategies from occupational therapy (OT) into their everyday instruction. This is the guidebook K-3 teachers need to "think like an OT"--and form effective partnerships with OTs in their schools--so all students can achieve their full potential. A clear and reader-friendly guide from an OT with nearly 35 years of classroom experience, "Teaching the Moving Child" gives elementary educators the solid foundation of knowledge they need to: (1) maximize the link between movement and learning; (2) meet the needs of students with sensory processing issues; (3) improve students' writing skills; (4) facilitate children's fine motor ability; (5) optimize learning; (6) promote imaginative play; (7) recognize and minimize students' stress; (8) decrease restlessness and increase attention; and (9) collaborate skillfully with OTs. Contents include: (1) Crossing Paths--Foundations of a Collaborative Prevention Model; (2) Movement, Occupation, and Learning; (3) Little Hands in School; (4) When Little Hands Write; (5) Seven Senses In School; and (6) The Knowledge-Sharing Team in Action. A list of references, study guide, and index are included. (ERIC).
