Book excerpt: SMART/Boost-Up is a program that was developed to increase the proportion of students who are ready to respond favorably to academic instruction through participation in multi-sensory activities in the classroom. These activities are aimed at addressing visual perception, auditory processing, attention, and eye-hand coordination, which have been identified as important factors for learning. There has been empirical evidence supporting academic gains related to the Boost-Up program, but there have not been any studies addressing the social/emotional outcomes of the program. The purpose of this study was to measure the relationship between the use of the Boost-Up program and teacher perceptions of student attitude toward school and social classroom behaviors. Results indicated that use of the Boost-Up program had positive effects on teacher perceptions of student attitude toward school and social behavior. Limitations of the study and suggestions for future research are discussed. (Contains 3 tables and a teacher survey.) [Master's Thesis, University of Wisconsin-River Falls.].
