Sensory development means relating to the senses.
Intellectual development means related to intellect.
A child develops an awareness and understanding of their environment by using their senses.
Theorist Jean Piaget identified stages of sensory & intellectual development which relate to concepts, reasoning, problem solving, imagination, creativity, concentration and memory.
Play is very important to a child and is how he/she learns and develops in many different areas. Play especially promotes cognitive development & through play children develop an understanding of difficult concepts, e.g. wet and dry sand.
Intellectual development is more linked to mathematical concepts to solve problems, e.g. sinking and floating.
Look up these theorists: Piaget, Freud, Bruner & Vygotsky, as these all developed theories of how children learn.
Through sensory play, children respond to what they see, smell, hear, touch and feel & they respond with excitement, shock, happiness, etc. These responses can be verbal and non-verbal.
It is important to provide a setting/environment/room/area where children can express themselves freely, as this encourages their sensory development.
Unexpected incidents (unplanned) can aslo greatly influence a childs sensory and intellectual development, exampls include: snow, thunder & lightening, grass being cut, an emergency such as an evacuation practice.
Many factors will influence a childs sensory development including: firm attachment to parent/primary carer, playing with others & a positive socio-economic background.
Some specific conditions may affect a child however, a child with cerebral palsy (lack of control of muscles & movement) may find that his/her sense of touch is affected and children with Downs syndrome are prone to hearing losses.
Hope all this information helps, a basis to get you started anyway!
