Synopsis

This  unit  introduces students to the importance of motor  skills  to
overall  development  and  a  range of  factors  which  contribute  to
individual  differences  in  children's  motor  development  such   as
genetic,   neurological,  cognitive,  personality  and   environmental
factors.  It  also  provides opportunities  for  students  to  develop
guidelines for movement programs for children 0-8 and the selection of
equipment  and  suitable activities. Students will  be  introduced  to
appropriate   sensory  and  musical  experiences,  ways  to   organise
motivating  play  spaces  and ways of creating  challenging  and  safe
environments for promoting motor development.
