Each child requires a different kind of movement to achieve his/her full learning potential. Some children will need … [Read more...]

Part II – Ask Sarit: How do you apply the skills learned in Timocco to the real world?
Last week we touched on the idea that transferring skills from the virtual world is a multi-stage process. Now, in the next stage, we want to achieve transference to the child’s daily contexts at home / kindergarten / school to ensure improvement of function. We can accomplish this by: 1. Empowering and enhancing the child’s feeling of competence to increase self-esteem and willingness to try new experiences – breaking the avoidance cycle. We know that feelings of success in the virtual game … [Read more...]
