The series “The Guides” was born from the experience of the Erickson Study Center with the aim of providing teachers with a series of complete volumes relating to the fundamental aspects of the various forms of Special Educational Needs present in our schools.
A result of the work done by the leading experts in the field, and thanks to its theoretical and functional approach, the Motor and Visuo-Spatial Difficulties at school guide presents not only the characteristics of the different motor difficulties and their effects in and out of the school setting, but also the strategies for strengthening the deficit skills and, tools for didactic and psychoeducational intervention.
The book is divided into 4 sections which guide the reader through the different phases that characterize the work to be done with the students:
• KNOW, OBSERVE, AND EVALUATE: it gives a clear and thorough definition of the different motor and visuo-spatial difficulties, providing tools for their observation.
• PLAN AND TAKE ACTION: concrete strategies and interventions are explored with which to effectively face the students’ particular didactic-educational needs.
• REFLECT AND UNDERSTAND: the meaning and the functions of psychomotricity are examined as activities for the growth and development of mental and motor skills.
• MAKE ALLIES AND SHARE: we suggest strategies and tools for the construction of a synergistic intervention network aimed at the well-being of the child.
