“…The activities became noticeably easier for the children during the time they were engaged with RMT. Brown’s study (2010) researched the influence of a reflex integration programme and fine motor skill development. She found a positive correlation when the programme was used and this resonated with comments made by participants in this research.…”

“…This is the strength of this research. Previous reflex integration researchers have limited their studies to one or two reflexes (Brown, 2010; Goddard-Blythe, 2005; McPhillips and Jordan-Black, 2007b; McPhillips and Sheehy, 2004). However, in this research, reflex integration or the particular reflex present was not the focus.…”

“…Secondly, experiences of parents with children in this age range would be useful for further study investigating the efficacy of RMT with school-aged children. Thirdly, previous studies of reflex integration programmes have used children within this age range (Brown, 2010; Goddard-Blythe, 2012; McPhillips and Sheehy, 2004).…”

This article reports on a qualitative phenomenological research project that investigated the use of Rhythmic Movement Training (RMT) as an intervention for retained primitive reflexes. Participants were from seven families who each had a child between the ages of 7 years and 12 years. Through semi-structured interviews, parents described their reasons for seeking additional help with their child's development issues. They talked about finding RMT, using RMT within their family routine and their views on the costs and the benefits they experienced, both financial and time. While there has been a small amount of research into movement programmes targeting retained primitive reflexes, to date there appears to have been no studies completed on RMT. The data collected described searches for help, the stress and frustrations associated with the search and the range of interventions these parents tried. The families in this research found that RMT was easy to use within their daily routine and that it was a cost-effective, low-impact intervention. The families noticed a range of benefits for children who had completed the movements. The findings provide encouraging evidence to proceed with further study that will investigate the academic, social and emotional development of children using RMT.

Resumen Objetivo: Crear un kit para juego de rol de libre acceso para niños y niñas con discapacidad cognitiva leve, sus cuidadores y sus pares, que facilite la inclusión. Materiales y métodos: Este proyecto tuvo un abordaje interdisciplinario, integrando aportes de médicos, psicólogos, terapeutas ocupacionales y diseñadores industriales en de una metodología de investigación-acción, dentro del que se contó con entrevistas a los participantes, uso experimental del diseño y creación de un prototipo final. Resultados: MoJi es un kit de juego de acceso libre que promueve la inclusión social, involucrando tanto al niño con discapacidad intelectual leve como a su cuidador y a niños de edad similar. El kit incluye un proyector de luz en forma de personaje (Mo o Ji), fichas de luz para proyectar diferentes formas, y una guía de mapas que delimita el espacio de juego; todos los elementos pueden ser descargados de Internet para ser armados por el cuidador y el niño o niña con discapacidad intelectual, y fueron pensados para su uso en espacios públicos para llamar la atención de otros niños. Conclusiones: MoJi fue diseñado por un equipo interdisciplinario para favorecer el fortalecimiento de vínculos entre cuidadores y niños con discapacidad intelectual, así como la interacción espontánea entre estos últimos y otros niños de su edad; de este modo, se espera que se facilite su inclusión social. Además de esto, MoJi puede promover el desarrollo de autonomía, creatividad, habilidades motoras finas, y capacidad para explorar, adaptarse y desenvolverse en el entorno. Por esto, MoJi puede ser una excelente adición a cualquier baúl de juguetes, pero especialmente al de un niño con discapacidad intelectual.

“…In the implementation of our activities we do not discriminate between the work of the child's fine motor skills with each other. However, we always evaluate the children's work so we can see the results of the child's fine motor skills development.Several studies have shown that fine motor skills are one of the initial activities in early childhood education(Brown, 2010;Carlson, 2013;Duncan, 2007;.Fine motor skills show children's creativity (McClelland, 2011). The child's movement and physical activity are related to the child's quality of life (Piek J P Dawson L Smith L M & Gasson N, 2008).…”

Fine motor skill is the ability to control movement through activities coordination of nervous system, fibril, and muscles such as fingers and hands. Fine motor skill is also seen as a very important factor in the process of developing cognitive abilities in early childhood. This study aims to see how to develop fine motor skills in early childhood. The study was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach (multi case single site case study design) involving 2 teachers. Data were collected through observation and interviews, then analyzed thematically using NVIVO 10 software. The results showed that fine motor skill development was carried out using the method of assignment in four ways: (i) Providing tools and materials, (ii) providing direction and opportunities for practice, (iii) observe children individually and in groups, (iv) evaluate their fine motor skill development on an ongoing basis. This study shows that these four ways can be used as an alternative in developing fine motor skill in early childhood.
