THE EFFECTS OF MULTY-SENSORY ENVIRONMENT ON SENSORIMOTOR INTEGRATION IN CHILDREN WITH MULTIPLE DISABILITIES

In recent years, the idea of research of sensorimotor integration has become increasingly explicated as a key component of the alternative therapy in children with multiple disabilities. The effects of the influence on the development, training, emotions and behavior of these children in a specially organized multy-sensory environment are explored.
The article provides an overview of sensory based interventions, among which the most important consideration is the sensory room as a physical space to overcome sensory-integrative dysfunction. The theory of sensorimotor integration is presented and different variants of disabiliies are described. The age criterion for effective utilization of multy-sensory space is derived.
