Every child is unique, is an individual and is distinguished from others through his own individuality, which includes all the facilities, opportunities, needs and abilities. This indicates the unrepeatable individuality of each human being with dignity, but it goes against everything "the obligation to normal," causing social pressure to which disabled people feel exposed.
Stimulation Baseline was created in the 70s by Prof. Andreas Fröhlich (Landstuhl, Germany), psychologist and special educator, and is an approach aimed at children / teenagers / adults with severe disabilities.
The main objective of stimulation baseline, and to re-assess what the disabled person has their own grave and stand-alone (although very limited) and the ability to build himself and his actions to the outside world.
The world of people with severe disability is very limited and accompanied by daily pain, trauma, fears, insecurities and the feeling of not being healthy and vital.
The lack of movement prevents the person with severe disabilities to enter into a relationship, satisfactorily with the outside world and severely limits the perception of oneself and one's body, affecting quality of life and that of his family.
often causes the severity of disability in people who revolve around insecurities, fears, expectations are too high or even lack of expectations, which does not allow them to have an adequate planning.
The person with severe disabilities often feels like an "object manipulation" and this causes in her passivity, apathy and isolation.
The disabled person trying to point out their needs in ways that are often not recognized and therefore the difficulty of communication prevents their satisfaction.
More serious are the problems of these children's family and the world rehabilitation increase the therapeutic proposals, however, preventing the child to reach the psychological well-being in everyday life, increasing their dependency.
Stimulation Basal, emphasizes the following essential requirements for each individual and proposes them as the rights of persons with disabilities:
- Elementary vital (to avoid pain, hunger, thirst)
- Need to moving stimuli, changes in life daily (contact with the outside world)
- need for security, stability and trust in human relationships
- Bond, being in relationship, feel accepted
- Recognition and esteem
- be independent, autonomous, deciding for themselves
- Need fun and joy in life
How Stimulation Basal meet these needs?
Through the use of stabilizers and facilitating various postures and mental well-being trying to optimize the opening to the outside world of the child allowing him to "live it" is perceived as an individual active in his environment, albeit limited. In this situation the child with disabilities (including severe) plays a starring role and experience firsthand (Without external request) and with its own capabilities in its power to the world of objects (self-determination).
Through its activities the child is able to become aware of his actions, increasing motivation and joy in doing individually and as a consequence, self-esteem.
Stimulation Basal also helps to change the chaotic overabundance of stimuli and allows the child to approach the world as a structure more understandable and less fear.
The main proposal of stimulation baseline, and especially bodily experience through:
- vestibular stimulation (experience the movement)
- somatic stimulation (tactile experience through the skin)
- vibratory stimulation (deep perception of their body).
These stimuli form a pattern of allow more body conscious:
the viability
the I = I = = I like the activities
like consistency (the experience yourself as a complex unit)
If the world were "baseline" for each disabled person would be granted full respect for their needs, the right to learn and evolve, the right to feel good every day of their lives and their right to their dignity.
I end this article with a discussion of Prof. Fröhlich, the originator of this approach:
"Do not are the techniques and methods of stimulation that heal a patient. They must not determine what is good for the patient, but rather seek, in a very sensitive, to understand their real needs. Only then will we be able to put forward proposals seeking to serve and support in areas where it can be any type of activity.
We must prevent or counteract a serious lack of consistently providing opportunities for severely disabled people to realize one's own ego. " Text
