Pavlohrad broadcaster PTRK reported on the installation of an interactive floor for children with special educational needs at School No. 9.
On 8 October, a Briolight installation team arrived and installed the system at the school.
The interactive floor was placed in the primary school corridor near the resource room where children with special educational needs receive support, rather than in a communal area of the whole school.
The system offers opportunities for different types of activities:
Developmental: practising gross motor skills, coordination and communication, response speed and flexible thinking, as well as perception, memory, attention, imagination and reasoning.
Well-being and physical activity: engaging children in movement, strengthening muscles and providing opportunities for physical activity. The original article also describes potential benefits for general physiological functioning; such outcomes depend on individual circumstances and should not be treated as guaranteed medical effects.
Educational: learning languages and introductory programming concepts.
Special educational support: encouraging movement, practising motor planning and perception of objects and their relationships, developing visual and motor memory, practical and visual thinking, and self-regulation.
Social and personal development: learning to respect partners in games, maintain friendly relationships and enjoy shared activities while practising independence, tolerance, sensitivity, perseverance and patience.
