Prerequisites:

Knowledge of motor, affective, cognitive and social development of the child.Knowledge of the international classification of disabilities (ICF)

Objectives

The aim of the course is to offer knowledge and competence about educational and re-educational approaches, which can be used with disable people. In particular, communicative, affective and relationship aspects will be elaborated; moreover, didactic indications aiming at the planning of interventions for people with disabilities will be offered, also to sponsor inclusion in motor and sports groups. The purpose of the course is also to learn the concepts behind psychomotor intervention in the educational, ri-educational and therapeutic areas. To know how to administer a psychomotor evaluation following the main models, using grids, tests and observational scales and to elaborate a psychomotor profile in order to plan the following educational intervention. To know educational and rieducational interventional procedures in subjects with disabilities, especially during childhood.

Contents

The course will offer theoretical and practical models of classic psychomotricity and will locate this knowledge in the wider topic of adapted physical activity, with practical indications for children development, disease and for adult disabilities. In particular, we will present classic models by Vayer, Le Boulch, Aucouturier and an integrated model of psychomotricity will be suggested.

Teaching Methods

Frontal lessonsObservation, analysis and discussion of video-recorded materialCooperative work and focus groupsPractical exercises and activities using role play and simulation

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

The final exam will consist in the production of a written interventional project and the description of the functional dynamic profile of a subject with disabilities after the presentation of a clinical case to the class. This project will be evaluated with a maximum of 27/30 while another 3 points will depend on the assigned tasks that each student will have received during the course. Students not attending the lessons will be tested orally on this second part. Global evaluation integrated with the other module of the course will be expressed in 30s.Evaluation criteria will regard:Knowledge and mastery of the contents;Capacity to critically rielaborate contents;Clarity of the oral presentationSynthesis skillsThe ability to develop specific intervention protocols based on the acquired knowledgeThe assignement is a prerequisite of the oral integrated esam.
