To facilitate and actively control the desired posture, we recommend the use of perceptual indices
(high-contrast checkerboard pattern, stripped panels, etc.), which should be placed in front of the
child
(Fig. 16).
Another very useful aid is to
“optically
structure”
the work tray by drawing
white
concentric circles
to allow
the integration of
the background and the object and the
posture and gesture (Fig. 17).
Remember that
this integration is the foundation of normal motor
behaviour.
It is very important to immediately seek the
most active control possible and begin, very
precociously, to introduce activities in the
form of play, first with the adult and, then,
even alone.
Experience has taught us that children are,
usually, not afraid when using
MINI STANDY
for
the first time; in any case, it is a good idea never
to leave the child alone in the beginning phases
and to use it for progressively longer periods of
time, starting with a few minutes.
