To insure that your students receive movement breaks during the school day, you could train the school's paraprofessionals to provide the movement breaks. The paraprofessionals, also called teacher's aides, are often assigned to assist special education students during the school day anyway. Time could be allotted for movement breaks within this assigned time. The paraprofessionals would need to receive training from you to learn how to provide the movement breaks correctly and safely.
