Neurodevelopmental dimension of the pointing gesture – significance and therapy

Summary/Abstract: The article is a continuation of the authors’ discussion on the pointing gestures in infants. The theoretical bases enclosed in the text The neurodevelopmental dimension of the pointing gestures – review of reports were complemented with considerations of the consequences of the lack of the pointing gesture in children and stimulation exercises that were designed taking into account three aspects relevant to its emergence: motor, cognitive and linguistic stimulation. The presented model of therapeutic interactions is an indispensable basis for building a child’s ability to communicate – initially using the pointing gesture and then – a verbal gesture.
