Little Works in Progess: Sensorimotor Development, Preferences and Learning
Sensory processing is the everyday neurological procedure of organizing the information we take in from our bodies and the world around us for use in daily life. There are 7 basic senses: Hearing, Taste, Smell, Sight, Touch, Movement/Vestibular, Body Position/Proprioceptive. How the brain processes sensory information can greatly impact interaction with the environment, the ability to learn, complete everyday activities, and behave appropriately. This class will explore 4 sensory preference categories and how sensory preferences impact behavior, social interaction and the ability to learn and play. Participants will gain understanding of how our senses can positively or negatively affect the ability to calm down or become alert for optimal participation in activities.
