Playtime builds the foundation for learning through exploration and sensorimotor development. At this critical time of development, from ages 0-5, a child develops an understanding of their body, the world outside of them, and the impact they can have on the world. This presentation will give you the tools and strategies to support motor planning/praxis development for learning and independence.
