From “Sensation” to “Sense” — From Being Occupied to Being Aware - Dr Kondekar
From “Sensation” to “Sense” — From Being Occupied to Being Aware
Adding life to senses.
Adding sense to life.
A child may receive many sensory experiences, activities and therapies. But sensory stimulation alone is not the ultimate goal.
The real goal is to help the child:
NOTICE → ATTEND → LISTEN → UNDERSTAND → CONNECT → COMMUNICATE → LEARN → PARTICIPATE
The developmental journey can therefore be expressed as:
SENSATION
↓
AWARENESS
↓
ATTENTION & LISTENING
↓
UNDERSTANDING
↓
THINKING
↓
COMMUNICATION
↓
LEARNING
↓
PARTICIPATION IN LIFE
The purpose of intervention is not merely to keep a child busy or occupied.
It is to help the child become aware of the world, make sense of it, and meaningfully participate in it.
A stronger closing message
Don’t just add activities to a child’s day.
Add awareness, understanding and meaning to the child’s life.
Make Sense. Shape the Future.
