The program consists of activities for developing and/or enhancing large and fine motor skills, balance and coordination, visual efficiency, eye-hand coordination, auditory skills and more. Stresses the need for repetition. Any new activity should be reviewed within a 24 hour period. Once the activity has been established & transferred to long-term memory, a new activity may be introduced. Lessons are introduced and reviewed in a two-day cycle. Vestibular & mobility skill activities are repeated every day. Once all of these readiness skills are in place, children have the necessary tools to be able to attend and learn.
