At BLC, students get to utilize the ActiveFloor for a minimum of 30 minutes a week. Each teacher receives a half hour time slot and can use their time as they see fit. Each teacher has a customized playlist where they can easily access games that they have creat- ed or found in the general library. Additionally, all the teachers have access to specially customized educational playlists. These playlists include games and activities that pertain to specific sea- sons, holidays and/or events.

Learning through play and movement is an effective and mo- tivating approach to reach students in all stages of their educa- tional development. From early childhood cognitive and motor skills to one-on-one and small group sessions with occupational therapists or speech therapists, there are countless combinations of customizable play-based learning activities available in the Ac- tiveFloor platform. The MobileMax ActiveFloor models, can be positioned at a tabletop height for those who need to be seated and can participate in game-based play using their hands or other pointers. “Our students love to get up and move!! Soccer may be a fan favorite in our building. Whether the students are dancing to songs on the TV Tube, scoring goals in soccer, or playing Air hockey- they student love being active and social with their peers.” – Colleen Kennedy-Dietrich, Special Education Teacher, Eastern Suffolk BOCES – Brookhaven Learning Center
“”This spring we added a Spring matching game, a Spring Social spinner, as well as a Sock Sorting game to honor World Down Syndrome Day. Our memory matching games can be modified to different levels based on the array of pictures included or the type of matching (picture to picture, word to picture, array of 8 or an array of 16). In addition to academics, our students love using the ActiveFloor as a means of sensory integration. Our floor has a specific playlist dedicated just to sensory integration.” Tara Rogers, Public Relations Specialist / Communications & Research, Eastern Suffolk BOCES
