Abstract

The following project explores the multisensory room in the proprioceptive development of children from 0 to 3 years old with Down’s syndrome. Which it had a question to answer and it was: establish the proprioceptive room influence in children from 0 to 3 years old with Down syndrome. In this point, I proved that children with Down syndrome showed a retardation in the milestone’s accomplishment of development. It is due to presence of mental retardation with intellectual coefficient between mild and moderate. Also, the multisensory room helps children to active their senses because it works with different stimuli. That is to say that it lets to wake up in children new feelings improving the working of their central nervous system. Likewise, the project applied an observation sheet focusing on visualize what kind of activities the teachers did in the multisensory room. After that, the Sensory Profile Test of Winnie Dunn was applied in children of 8 years old who always came up to “El Peral” Disability Inclusive Center. The test was focusing at parents because they know very well the posible answers of their children to sensory interactions that occur in the whole day. Finally, the application of the test let to get an important aspect to be consider and it was the sensory processing. It let to know the functional performance section of the child. With the processing and analysis of the results obtained, it turns out that the majority of children showed definite difference or sensory processing problems.
