Region I Educator and Provider Support (EPS) Presents:

The Importance of Sensory & Motor Development in Infants & Toddlers

Children are multi-sensory beings. They mainly sense things (sensory input) and then move their bodies (motor output) in relation to those sensations. Those sensory and motor brain connections are necessary building blocks for all aspects of children's development and learning, including mood and social development. Some children's brains are not efficiently processing the sensory messages they get from their bodies and their environments; they have difficulty responding in an adaptive way to everyday sensations. Participants who attend this workshop will engage in fun & functional activities that will help them to get children "in sync" through SAFE activities, specifically designed to engage various sensory systems (Sensory-motor, Appropriate, Fun and Easy). The more sensory-motor experiences young children have, the more easily they learn to function in daily life!
