Confused as to what "Kinesensory" actually means? "Kinesensory" can be defined by separating the word into its respective roots: "kinetic" and "sensory." The word "kinetic" means "to move or result from motion." The flow of information from nerve endings into the brain is called the "sensory" pathway. Thus "kinesensory" refers to the relationship between the incoming sensory information and the outgoing physical movement response. One of AKT's primary purposes in early childhood education is to help children develop the capacity to properly respond to their environment; to "listen" to the world around them and to "respond" with a behavior that represents their true feelings. Thus as a child develops the kinesensory pathways, he/she is co-ordinating the incoming sensory information with the outgoing response control.
