  1. Movement and Its Components

  2. Sensori-motor Stage (Piaget) The stage when children focus on what they see, what they are doing, and physical interactions with their immediate environment.

  3. ACCORDING TO Piaget…… Mobility leads to increased cognitive development…. Cognitive development always follows this sequence, that stages cannot be skipped, and that each stage is marked by new intellectual abilities and a more complex understanding of the world. http://children.webmd.com/piaget-stages-of-development

  4. Definition of Sensorimotor sen·so·ri·mo·tor (sns-r-mtr)adj.Of, relating to, or combining the functions of the sensory and motor activities.

  5. What is Sensorimotor functioning? The interaction between the proprioceptive, vestibular and tactile systems.

  6. Proprioception • Provided every time our joints move and are compressed • Allows us to know the position of our body and limbs without always looking at them to know where they are • Helps us detect how much pressure we should apply in activities such as picking up a paper cup or how tightly we should grasp a pencil. • http://pathways.org • .

  7. Vestibular Sense • Located deep in our inner ear • Helps us process gravity and movement • Allows us to balance and know when we are falling • Lets us know how much our muscles need to work to hold our body up for activities like sitting up or catching a heavy ball without falling down. • http://pathways.org

  8. Proprioception and Vestibular Senses Together, these senses, along with our touch sense, are critical for allowing us to respond quickly to life’s ever-changing environments, demonstrating effective sensory integration. As our central nervous system develops our ability to process sensory information evolves. http://pathways.org/awareness/parents/sensory-integration/more-than-5-senses#.UqnjMPRDtIE

  9. What is Sensory Integration?(Foundations of Orientation and Mobility) Neurological process that organizes sensation from your own body and from the environment and makes it possible to use the body effectively within the environment. Optimal motor and cognitive development depends on the functioning of the basic sensory system…. (Foundations of Orientation and Mobility, 2011)

  10. How Does This Apply to O&M Systematic, targetedsensory stimulation can assist the central nervous system to integrate information in a meaningful way.

  11. Creating Routines Creates Understanding • A routine is an activity that is carried out the same way during each occurrence. • Some of the key principles of sensorimotor development and functioning are: • Predictability and • Sequencing • THEREFORE…..

  12. Incorporating a movement routine • Allows the student to anticipate each step, • Increases sensory motor functioning by providing proprioceptive and vestibular stimulation • Facilitates sensory integration which will increase balance and muscle tone • ONLY THROUGH ACTIVE MOVEMENT CAN MUSCLE TONE, PROPRIOCEPTIVE AWARENESS AND COORDINATION OCCUR. (Foundations of Orientation and Mobility, 2011).
