Slide 7: “Yoga”: to Unite

Mind

Body

Breath

Figure 5 - 7: Three icons representing mind, body, breath.

Yoga is exercise.

Slide 8: What are Motor Skills?

Slide 9: Outcome Effort

What Causes Motor Skill Delays in Children with Visual Impairments?

“Children with visual impairments’ motor development is parallel to those without visual impairments until 4-6mo., when they start to lag due to lack of motivation to move.” Toster & Brambring, 1993.

Slide 12: Science

Vision is a Motor Motive

Typically Developing

Figure 6 Toddler smiles and looks at the camera as he plays outdoors.

Watches mom.

Learns movements incidentally.

Movement is MOTIVATING.

Movement is SAFE.

Visual Impairments

Figure 7 Toy sits tailor style on the floor with hands held up on either side.

Lack of incidental learning.

Movement patterns may be delayed.

Structured movement classes provide a safe environment to facilitate movement.


Stages of motor learing1. Cognitive Stage:

2. Associative Stage:

3. Autonomous Stage:

Slide 15: Stages of Motor Learning

Figure 8 Graphic of the Pyramid of Learning (Williams & Shellenberger, 104 at http://www.pathwaystolearning.co.nz/the-pyramid-of-learning ..

At the base of the pyramid is the tag: Central Nervous System”


http://www.pathwaystolearning.co.nz/the-pyramid-of-learning





There are four stages shown each resting higher up on the pyramid beginning with Sensory Systems, Sensory Motor Development, Perceptual Motor Development, and at the top of the pyramid, Cognition Intellect.

Sensory Systems:1. Olfactory “smell”

2. Visual “sight”

3. Auditory “sound”

4. Gustatory “taste”

5. Tactile “touch”

6. Vestibular “balance”

7. Proprioception “body movement awareness”

Sensory Motor Development1. Body Scheme “Body

structure awareness”

2. Reflex Maturity “Elimination of primitive reflexes”

3. Ability to screen input “selectively take in stimuli”

4. Postural Security “posture, control”

5. Bilateral Body Awareness “dominant side, coordination”

6. Motor Planning “complex, new activities”

Perceptual Motor Development1. Eye-hand Coordination

2. Ocular Motion Control

3. Postural Adjustment

4. Auditory Language Skills

5. Visual Spatial Perception

6. Attention Center Functions

Cognition Intellect1. Daily Living Activities

2. Behavior

3. Academic Learning
