Sensory-Motor Development: Building Foundations for Child Development and Academic Success

Sensory-motor Development refers to the process through which children learn to coordinate their senses and movements, laying the groundwork for both physical and cognitive development.

In this session, you’ll learn what sensory-motor development is and how it influences key areas of a child’s growth, including balance, coordination, and spatial awareness. We’ll also explore why it’s essential for children’s overall development and its critical role in supporting academic success. By understanding this process, you’ll gain insights into how sensory-motor skills shape learning abilities and set children up for success in both the classroom and everyday life.
