Beneficios de la estimulación sensorial en el desarrollo psicomotor de los niños de 2 – 4 años.

Abstract

Introduction: To evaluate psychomotor development in early ages, helps to detect early developmental delays in children. Sensory stimulation has become the fundamental pillar for children to have a better development. General objective: To determine the psychomotor and sensory development of children from 2 to 4 years of age for the elaboration of a project of sensory, proprioceptive and vestibular intervention. Methodology: A quantitative, analytical, prospective approach study was developed in which 40 children were evaluated that included the ages of 2 - 4 years, in which it was possible to determine how sensory stimulation influenced the adequate psychomotor development of the child. Results: Of the 40 children evaluated, it was possible to identify that 12 children are in risk zone and 4 children are retarded. It was evident that children in this category are those whose mothers did not allow them to explore at an earlier age and present some rejection of various stimuli from the environment. Conclusions: It is concluded that sensory stimulation positively helps the proper psychomotor development of children. In addition, a guide to sensory stimulation activities was established.
