Check out this interesting article and video about Outdoor Classrooms
at
The Toronto Star on-line newspaper
In a Toronto school a 4 year old
preschooler, diagnosed with non-verbal Autism, shocked teachers and family by
spelling his name with sticks while playing in an outdoor classroom! His teacher is a firm believer that outdoor
spaces can enhance learning and improve behavior, as she notes that she has
never seen him or his peers so motivated or engaged, as when they are outdoors.
This is a great example of how outdoor classrooms spaces can
be beneficial not only to the mainstream classrooms, but also to those with
special needs.
