The article presents the activation of movement in space using various types of sounds, presenting the author's model of working with moderate and severe intellectual disabilities. The first theoretical part, in which the importance of music and sound for development and therapy was presented, became an introduction to the second applied part, in which sounds activating movement and moving in the space of students with intellectual disabilities were presented. Using the proprietary model of sound and movement classes, the recipients of which were students with intellectual disabilities, the characteristics of the four modules of the classes were specified, detailing Module IV entitled Movement on Earth – Pedestrians and drivers. Its primary goal was to activate and provoke specific – correct and conscious movement in space through consciously selected and used sounds. The movement was activated by a specific type of sound, enriched with a simple picture and word – written and spoken, thanks to which every student with disability experimentally gained knowledge and the ability to understand space and consciously move in it.
