Promoting Communication in Your Non-Verbal Child

26 Nov 2008 10:42 AM

I worked briefly with an autistic little boy who made remarkable progress using this method. His parents organized a team of paid helpers who worked with the child at home from morning until the evening.

for some years I worked as a Dance and Movement Therapist. My area of specialization was children who had special needs. Amongst my delightful pupils were a number diagnosed on the autistic spectrum. There was one boy I remember in particular who had cerebral palsy in addition to his autism. He had an extraordinary sense of balance and great musical sensitivity.

The e-manual "Dance to Health - Help Your Special Needs Child Through Inspirational Dance" was authored by me to enable the parents of children with special needs to carry out some dance therapy with their children at home. (http://www.dance-to-health-help-your-special-needs-child.com)
