Summary

A playroom and a playground are already part of the stabilization unit and are furnished with basic facilities for engaging the SAM children in play-based motor, language, and personal-social activities. The severely acute malnourished children in the intervention group will be sent to a development pediatrician who will do a developmental assessment of the child and stimulation. A sensory therapist, an occupational therapist, and a physiotherapist will also be available for sessions.

Psychosocial stimulations

The psychosocial stimulation will be offered in two phases: in-patient (at stabilization unit) and after discharge patient will be referred to out-patient (at outpatient therapeutic centre) and developmental out-patient. The sessions with development paediatrician and team will be held every week lasting for about 20-40 min in the presence of the caregiver. The intervention includes auditory, tactile and visual stimulation, hand-eye coordination, and different types of sensory-motor training that included fine and gross motor activities. The guiding principle will be to enhance a child's holistic development-cognitive, language, physical, and social-in an integrated manner by using age-appropriate play materials, cultural tools, and resources.
