Assemblymember Pat Fahy Aids Installation of New Sensory Obstacle Course at St. Catherine’s R & E May School
ALBANY, N.Y. – A new sensory obstacle course was recently installed at St. Catherine’s Center for Children’s R & E May School with the help of Assemblymember Pat Fahy. Fahy secured a State and Municipal Facilities Program (SAM) grant to fund the project. The obstacle course will provide students with a non-intrusive way to introduce sensory stimulation into the learning environment, helping to promote focus, concentration, and engagement. “We are incredibly grateful to Assemblymember Fahy for securing the funding to provide this unique addition for our students,” said Frank Pindiak, executive director at St. Catherine’s Center for Children. “The installation of the sensory obstacle course grants students the opportunity to develop vital sensory processing skills through play. By moving through and around obstacles, our children play an active role in regulating sensory process tasks in a functional manner.”
