Thoughtfully Created by Sensory Together

Merry Moves! was developed by Sensory Together, a resource creator founded by an experienced early childhood educator and a geriatric occupational therapist (OT).

Our resources combine professional knowledge of movement, functional abilities, sensory needs, and meaningful engagement with practical, easy-to-implement activities designed for real-world care settings.

Merry Moves! was developed through an occupational therapy-informed lens, with an emphasis on accessible movement, adaptable participation, and supporting older adults of varying abilities.

AI-assisted tools were used as part of the creative development process, including content drafting and visual design. Our approach is to combine professional expertise with modern creative tools to produce thoughtful, affordable resources that help caregivers and activity professionals deliver engaging experiences.

Safety Note: This program is intended for general recreational movement and engagement. Exercises should be adapted to individual abilities, care plans, and healthcare-provider recommendations. Participants should move within a comfortable range and stop if they experience pain, dizziness, or other concerning symptoms.
