Stimulation manual for children with intellectual deficits

The early developmental stages are considered a primordial and critical moment for the acquisition and development of skills and knowledge; hence, any deviation or difficulty during the infant stage lays the foundation for scenarios translated into possible deficits that will inevitably lead to difficulties in academic skills that persist for years and even into adulthood.Infant development in the early ages is identified by the increasing acquisition of such primordial functions as postural control, autonomy of movement, communication, verbal language and social interaction. This evolution is strictly linked to the maturation process of the Central Nervous System, already initiated in intrauterine life, and to the emotional and mental organization; it requires an adequate genetic structure and the satisfaction of the basic requirements for the human being at a biological and psycho-affective level.
