The Other Senses: Vestibular System, Proprioception and Interoception
3 Clock Hour of Early Childhood Education
Most of us are quite familiar with the five senses; taste, touch, smell, sight, and sound. However, there are three more senses that are just as important and often go unnoticed. These senses are proprioception, interoception, and the vestibular sense. These are necessary parts of our day to day lives and affect things like our balance, sensation of feeling hungry, and interactions with objects in our environments. Like any other area of development, the senses grow leaps and bounds over the first few years of life. This course will explore the basics of these other senses and how we as educators can support them and recognize delays to better serve the young children and families we work with.
The information provided in this course is standard practice. Be sure to follow the specific regulations mandated by the state or county for your program.
Learning Outcomes:
Washington STARS credit: Child Growth and Development (3 hours)
CDA Unit 8: Understanding Principles of Child Development and Learning (3 hours)
