Imagine living in a body where your coordination fails to execute a
specific mental command: Let's say your mind wants your hands to
execute a function like holding a pencil to write a word, but all
the motor coordination allows you to do is simply make a pencil
mark. Imagine, if you can, wanting to be functionally independent
and yet the body movements you make are beyond your mind's control.
- Such is a state that can make living least enjoyable. Just as it
is important for the mind to be stimulated through academics and
communication, it is important for the body to continue learning
skills so that "Mind and Body" find a way to unify. A plateau in
cognition can make one feel stagnant. So why wouldn't a plateau in
developing skills make one feel "stuck"? Communication skills on a
letter-board or a key-board is essentially the same motor skill -
Pointing. Growing one's skill beyond pointing is an essential goal
of RPM. Otherwise, a 'Skill-plateau' may lead to further
frustration if the mind is unable to direct the body to manipulate
its environment. The external world, including one's own body, is a
three dimensional space. To manipulate it one has to overcome
selective activities (stims or OCDs). So there needs to be
step-by-step lesson plan on how to achieve each goal. This book is
an earnest effort in "how" to plan the first skill goals that go
beyond pointing skills. It goes a step further to experience the
world through the principles of Rapid Prompting Method.
