Observation is a person’s fine perception of objective things; in layman’s terms, observation means to look carefully and attentively. It is an important part of cognitive ability. People get 70%-80% of the external information through observation. The observation ability of children with intellectual disabilities is very weak, which is reflected in their superficial perception of things, often showing that they can’t see or hear anything, and when they are asked what they just saw or heard, they often can’t answer. To improve the learning ability of children with intellectual disabilities and thus their intelligence, we must first improve their observation skills. Mothers and fathers of children with intellectual disabilities can try the following methods: 1. Increase the intensity of stimulation When letting your baby observe a picture or an object, you can change it to a larger one. For example, use a larger toy car instead of a smaller one; a large picture instead of a small one. This can enhance the “intensity” of the stimulus, easier to attract baby’s attention. 2, use bright colors Brightly colored teaching aids or objects are easy to interest children with intellectual disabilities, they will be more willing to accept. 3, increase the color contrast Increase the color difference between the object and the background, you can highlight the object, easy to observe. For example, if a picture of a pink doll is placed on a white background or a white rabbit is placed in the bright green grass, the strong color contrast will make it easy for children with intellectual disabilities to observe and learn. 4.Guided by language or children’s songs Mommy can tell baby to observe a certain part of the object or picture to narrow down the scope of observation. For example, Mommy says, “Look, the doll’s eyes are here.” “Look, her little hand is here.” Point to the doll’s eyes and hands at the same time. Mommy can also say the children’s song while guiding baby to observe: “Little white rabbit, white and white, two ears up ……” while using her fingers to show baby to help him look carefully. For example, on a picture of a small farmhouse, there are a big horse (in the middle), a lamb, a chicken, a bicycle, the sun, flowers and plants, etc. You should first guide your baby to observe the big horse and teach him to say “big horse”, then look from left to right, from top to bottom, and learn to say You should also learn to say words like “lamb”, “chicken”, “bicycle” and “sun”. Over time, after forming the habit, even the smallest things will not be missed by the baby. 6.Let your baby talk while watching. Guide your baby to say what he sees while observing. This way, with the participation of language, baby will observe things more carefully. 7.Simulated sounds When observing pictures of animals with special sounds such as puppies, kittens and ducks, and items that make sounds such as cars, mommy can let baby look at them while simulating these special sounds to attract baby’s attention and increase his interest, making the observation interesting.
