Montessori Special Education and Nature's Playground - Nimal Vaz

 
A Montessori leader in both nature education and special education, Nimal Vaz will discuss how nature can promote sensory integration, balance, visual training, motor coordination, etc. By providing opportunities to judge distances and heights, exercise the muscles and senses, engage in social play and climbing, an outdoor environment in a natural setting imparts competence not only in physical development but in reading, writing, and mathematics—all the academic areas.
