Physical Activities for Improving Children's Learning and Behavior: A Guide to Sensory Motor Development is a book designed for teachers and parents working with children who suffer from learning problems.
The book offers explanations for learning, behavior and motor problems, as well as activities to help improve the conditions. The complexities of sensory motor development are explained in simple terms.
The book includes 99 physical activities and games designed to help reduce the effects of sensory motor problems. Photos and illustrations show the developmental processes, helping educators understand and implement the information presented.
Because the activities will improve any child's motor development, they are also applicable to children without learning and behavior problems. The activities are appropriate for use in the classroom and require little or no additional equipment.
The book, by Dr. Billye Ann Cheatum and Allison A. Hammond, costs $19.95. For more information, contact Human Kinetics, 1607 N. Market St., P.O. Box 5076, Champaign, IL 61825-5076, (217) 351-5076.
