Core Concepts of the Perception-Action Approach
PAA is a child-driven, interactive approach that enhances motor adaptability, exploration, and problem-solving.
Key Principles:
â Environmental Affordances â Setting up therapy spaces that naturally invite movement and exploration.
â Manual Guidance â Using gentle, light touch to provide new perceptual information without restricting movement.
â Perceptual Information Gathering â Movement provides real-time feedback that drives motor learning.
â Self-Organisation & Problem-Solving â Encouraging children to discover multiple movement solutions.
