SENSORY EDUCATON
Our world is changing … we are now aware that the way we move, play and talk to our children has a huge impact on their development. Time pressures and technology can all have a negative impact as well. All babies and young children have sensory preferences and can be sensitive at times in the pool. At Aqua Sensory we show you how to take time, so you can be much more sensitive to your children’s sensory needs.
Being an Aqua Sensory Tribe member is perfect for any swim teacher, parent or early years professional, looking to enhance a child’s development and strengthen the parent bond. It is an easy way to digest sensory education, so you can take a more attuned child-led approach across your whole program.
Here at Aqua Sensory we are on a mission to provide updated resources and sensory swim and water education to support our changing world.
I enjoy being part of a group, where we share ideas. My lessons are much more child focused and creative now since starting Aqua Sensory.
HOW WE STARTED
In 2012 Christian and Jo Wilson, founders of Aqua Sensory, started their sensory journey after attending a workshop for parents. They showed a series of movements to help calm children, to aid balance and increase brain connections.
This was the light bulb moment to how sensory activities can positively impact a child’s development. Their passion for all things sensory started! They began to incorporate sensory play into the pool, which is the perfect environment because of water’s innately multi-sensory nature.
Today Aqua Sensory has become a collaborative education resource. Aquatic therapist and educator, Sophia Michalopoulou has joined our Tribe’s creative team. By making new connections, we are joining the sensory dots in the water.
Thank you to our contributors and experts…
The programme has been researched, tested and refined by working with industry professionals like Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Health and Early Year Professionals, Speech and Language Therapists, Yoga and Massage teachers, Reflexologists and Rhythmic Movement and Brain Gym® therapists.
This is going to give families a headstart in life!
Aqua Sensory provides a wonderful bridge between the familiar watery world before birth and the bright, noisy, gravity-based world of dry land.
We believe in life-long learning and sharing to make a difference.
