Sensorial Room
“We build knowledge and
understanding of the world through our senses, and the
quality of learning is directly related to the quality of
the experience, instruction, or training, the child receives
in the early years of his life”. Maria Montessori,
Educationist
On
Monday 7th March 2005, the Association of Early
Intervention for Children with Special Needs proudfully
inaugurated
two projects which come as partnership with private schools
in Muscat; the Sultan School’s Sensorial room and the
Artwork in Classrooms by The American International School
Muscat.
It is one of
the Association’s major aims to establish this partnership
with schools because they play an important role in shaping
our children’s characters and personalities; their active
participation in community not only extends a helping hand
to the needy but also spreads positive awareness towards the
children with special needs.
It is believed that a child is
born with no previous knowledge as to what the world is, how
it functions or how it will affect him, the child responds
in automatic and unthinking movements, these responses are
called reflex actions.
The
first sucking movement to feed is a reflex action, as is the
movement of the baby’s eyes in following a light, or the
grasping with fingers when the palm of the baby’s hand is
touched and thus these senses are stimulated and developed
to form the foundation of the child’s learning.
The Sensorial training aims to
help the child attain maximum refinement of his senses and
help him build his perceptions and awareness, to better
understand and interact with the world around him. This lets
the children enjoy an environment that fulfills these needs
and develops their abilities by maximizing the use of their
senses because these vital abilities given to us by all
mighty are very effective in shaping our understanding and
being.
We thank
every participant for their support and help to the
Association in serving these children, because we can only
succeed and fulfill our role with your continued support and
contributions to achieve our planned goals.
