Who is TSMT® II Recommended For?
Group-Based Planned Sensorimotor Training (TSMT® II) is recommended for children aged 18 months to 12 yearswho exhibit one or more of the following challenges:
Speech and Motor Development
- Delayed or impaired speech development
- Motor development delays, coordination difficulties
Attention and Concentration Issues
- Short-term memory and working memory deficits
- Difficulty maintaining multi-channel attention
- Challenges in remembering task sequences
- Struggles with independent work completion
Learning Difficulties
- Learning-related disorders (dyscalculia, dyslexia, dysgraphia)
- Poor spatial awareness
- Difficulty distinguishing left from right
- Weak synchronization functions
Behavioral Challenges
- Anxiety, low self-confidence
- Weak self-regulation, mild hyperactivity
- Difficulty cooperating in social situations
Sensory Processing Disorders (SPD)
- Issues with sensory integration and regulation
Who is Eligible for Group-Based TSMT® Therapy?
Children participating in the Longitudinal Complex Assessment who achieve 50-75% in Nervous System and Motor Maturity but score below 75% in the Cognitive Attention area are recommended for group-based therapy.
It is essential that children in this program are cooperative and capable of working independently or with minimal support in groups of 4-8 participants.
What Results Can Be Expected?
TSMT® II is particularly beneficial for children who:
- Struggle with motor coordination
- Show signs of hyperactivity
- Are not yet school-ready
- Need focused attention development
How Does the Therapy Work?
The therapy takes place in a gymnasium setting, filled with stimulating sensory input, usually without parental presence. Exceptions include infant groups and children with severe developmental delays who can still integrate into a group.
Each training group consists of 4-8 children with similar skill levels, ensuring a tailored and effective learning experience.
Exercises are conducted in a pre-arranged room with structured training elements, targeting:
- Gross motor skill refinement
- Improved attention control
- Sensorimotor synchronization
- Enhanced praxis (motor planning)
- Body schema development
- Spatial orientation
- Lateralization and dominance development
- Serial processing and rhythm skills
- Multi-channel attention improvement
- Integration of primitive/infantile reflex profiles
These skills form the foundation for successful school adaptation, helping children become more confident and independent learners.
