  • Abstract:
  • Early childhood intervention plays a crucial role in improving attention, sensory integration, and motor development, particularly in children with developmental delays. Structured, activity-based programs grounded in behavioral and perceptual learning principles are widely recommended for holistic development. This article presents a practical, goal-oriented intervention framework focusing on attention enhancement, eye contact improvement, auditory-motor integration, visual perception, and fine motor skill development. The activities described—such as ball pick-and-drop tasks, target hitting, mirror-based eye contact exercises, sound-action pairing, alphabet matching, and fine motor manipulation—are simple, low-cost, and easily implementable in home or therapy settings. These strategies are aligned with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), occupational therapy, and sensory integration approaches. Regular and consistent implementation of these activities can support cognitive engagement, improve motor coordination, and strengthen sensory processing skills. The framework emphasizes experiential learning through play, promoting active participation and functional skill acquisition. Such structured interventions can be effectively used by therapists, educators, and caregivers to support early developmental outcomes.
