Description
Developmental Movement Adventures is a comprehensive 27-page PDF designed to support the development of essential foundational skills in young children (ages 3 to 5 years). Authored by experienced occupational therapist Ingrid C. King, this resource offers a variety of sensory-motor activities to help integrate primitive reflexes and enhance sensory processing and self-regulation.
Key Features of the Developmental Movement Adventures PDF:
- Targeted Age Group: Designed for children ages 3 to 5 years.
- Skill Development: Focuses on developing foundational skills crucial for learning and life. This is a graded program, so start from the first activity and move through until the children have had a good opportunity to experience all 16 activities. Allow about five minutes per activity, beginning or ending with a warm-up to promote a calm, alert state for each child.
- 16 Sensory-Motor Activities: Engaging activities aimed at integrating primitive reflexes such as the Moro, Tonic Labyrinthine (TLR), and Symmetrical Tonic Neck reflexes (STNR).
- Monitor Progress: There are evaluation question sheets to monitor progress.
- Self-Regulation: Activities promote rhythmic and flowing body movements to support self-regulation of emotions and behavior.
- Supports Sensory Processing: Facilitates vestibular, proprioceptive, tactile input and more!
- Acknowledgment: Thank you to Sonia Story’s Brain and Sensory Foundations® Program and its influence and in-depth training on primitive reflex integration.
