They learn that items may look different, but they have not changed in form when viewed from a different perspective. This is the accident-prone child, the klutz who bumps into furniture and stumbles over items everyone else avoids. It is the child who has unrealistic expectations of abilities like lifting a heavy table. Or it is the fearful child who withdraws from participation in physical events where he might get hurt. Integration of the motor and visual systems allows children to succeed as participants in many sports, academic, and social activities.
Language facilitates the integration of the motor and visual mapping systems.
With the Window they learn how the spatial term feels as they draw it, not just the abstract definition of a spatial term. With this deep understanding of spatial language they can more easily transfer the same spatial concepts to a variety of settings. Some learners have not developed smooth and effective motor control end visual mapping. They can make up for gaps in this development through exercises with the Window. The Window is particularly effective because it requires the use of large muscles on a smooth vertical surface.
