Options to Educate the Intersegmental Coordination and Balance of Children with Intellectual Disabilities by Multi-sensory Stimulation Programmes

Children with intellectual disabilities face many difficulties in learning and, consequently, they need more support at personal level, both in terms of education, and in terms of social integration. One of the characteristics of this category of children is the poor ability to assimilate new or complex information, to get new skills and to be independent.Based on the assumption that each child has his/her own development rhythm and a unique growth and development pattern, forming new motor skills is efficient if the child is aware on his/her own body, has stability and can coordinate the motor gestures.
