S’cool Moves is a family-owned company located in Shasta, California. Our employees are educators whose goals are to provide excellent products and training to help create sensory supportive environments for all children.

The company grew out of Debra Em Wilson’s vision to provide foundation skills for students whose families did not have the financial capability to pay for private therapy clinics, behavioral optometry sessions, or expensive learning intervention programs.

As a company, we pride ourselves in staying current on the latest brain research, mind-body science, and psychological findings. Our job is to translate the research into practical application for classrooms, clinics, and home.

Our products incorporate art, music, and movement. We encourage schools to keep these areas a priority in the curriculum.

S’cool Moves activities bridge occupational therapy practices with classroom, clinic, and home. Our products offer simple, effective ways to help all children reach their full potential by improving the sensory foundation for learning.

S’cool Moves believes joy is an important part of everyone’s day, so our products and workshops provide activities that are fun and engaging for teachers, parents, therapists, and students alike.

Debra Em Wilson is the mother of a child with special needs. S'cool Moves was developed as a way to meet her needs at home and in the classroom setting. This poem was written by Debra to express the emotions she felt when her child was not meeting any of the expected developmental time frames. Children with special needs follow their own unique time frames. It is our role to support children with special needs by providing developmental activities and unconditional love that keeps them moving forward, at their own pace.

Her daughter is now a vibrant teenager having surpassed all expectations from the medical community. Debra owes a debt of gratitude to the team around her who keeps her moving forward including teachers, specialists, friends, and family.
