Motor Development

  1. Why is motor development an important aspect of human development? Consider all of the motoric aspects of development that occur throughout a lifespan – reflexes, early skills, fine motor skills, gross motor skills and specific skills.
  2. Consider if there are age groups or school level groups that are more susceptible to falls or accidents due to motor development adjustments or growth. What would you need to consider in terms variations or adjustments to learning contexts or content to better support the needs of your students?
