Psychomotor therapy in the context of multisensory environment

Zuzana Fábry Lucká: Comenius University, Faculty of Education, Department of Therapeutical Pedagogy, Šoltésovej 4, 813 34 Bratislava, Slovakia, Grant dedication, The study was conducted under the project VEGA (1/0598/17) Evaluation of the effective factors of, multisensory approaches in therapeutic education.

Multi-sensory environment as a room for therapeutic intervention is currently an increasingly used method. It is possible to apply not only typical activities for the support of sensory integration and the use of therapy, but it is also an environment whose elements are also usable for other therapeutic concepts, such as psychomotor therapy. This synthesis is suited to application in every stage of lifetime, since the multisensory environment is wide-spectrum in use. As it offers space for active motor activities, it is also a space for reminiscence, evaluating in senior age. This study offers basic definitions supplemented by research samples from current ongoing research on aspects of multisensory environment in therapeutical pedagogy.
