Key educational and developmental support objectives:
- Sensory development. Building and refining tactile, visual and auditory perception, sensory differentiation and the integration of information from different sensory systems.
- Fine motor and praxis development. Improving differentiated finger movements in both hands, visual-motor coordination, motor planning and practical object-based actions.
- Development of cognitive processes. Developing voluntary attention, visual memory, practical, visual, object-based and symbolic thinking, spatial concepts and imagination.
- Development of executive functions. Developing intentional behaviour, sequencing and the ability to plan, perform and complete tasks according to instructions.
- Speech, language and social communication development. Creating play scenarios, describing them verbally and developing dialogue, cooperation, negotiation and shared-activity skills.
- Integration of learning objectives. Using interactive models and scenarios to explore nature, geographical features, mathematical concepts and the surrounding world.
Methodological value of the equipment lies in combining sensory and tactile activity with digital exercises in one session. Professionals can use the sandbox for individual work, pairs and small groups, selecting tasks according to children's age, educational needs and abilities.
Purchasing a Briolight interactive sandbox expands an institution's educational resources for developmental support programmes, sensory education, cognitive development and social communication skills.
