1 / 4 H Neuro #160 - Working on Neuro with Children with Sarah Lescure

Introduction

Today, in the neuro framework, we will explore how and why organizing neuro camps for children can be beneficial. We are pleased to welcome Sarah Lescure, a former school teacher turned sports coach.

Sarah Lescure's Journey

Sarah shares her professional journey, having been a school teacher for several years. She decided to change paths due to the challenges encountered in the educational system, particularly with struggling students. Passionate about sports, she chose to return to her first love and support children through sports activities.

Neuro Camps for Children

The camps that Sarah organizes welcome children of all ages, from 3 to 12 years old, including teenagers. She explains that the audience is diverse, comprising children with disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, as well as children who have difficulties expressing themselves or simply need to expend energy.

An Inclusive Environment

Sarah emphasizes the importance of creating an environment where all children feel accepted. Parents are often informed of their children's difficulties, but sometimes this information is revealed only after the camps have started.

Methods and Approaches

During her sessions, Sarah and her colleague Nathalie implement a variety of activities tailored to the children's needs. This includes:

• Sensory games to stimulate motor skills and emotional expression.
• Obstacle courses and juggling exercises to develop balance.
• Climbing activities to stimulate the vestibular system.

Sarah stresses the importance of adapting exercises according to the individual needs of the children and regularly checking in with parents to track progress.

The Benefits of Sports on Learning

The physical activities offered by Sarah are not limited to fun; they are essential for developing concentration and learning. She discusses the importance of a quiet time at the end of each session, allowing children to refocus before heading home.

Parent Feedback

Feedback from parents is generally positive. They notice improvements in their children's behavior and concentration at school, reflecting the positive impact of the camps on their development.

Conclusion

Sarah Lescure continues to organize camps to help children overcome their learning difficulties while having fun. For those looking to improve their children's motor skills and behavior, these camps in Haute-Savoie are an excellent opportunity.
