Dance to Health Help your Special Needs Child through Improvisational Dance is an immediately downloadable e-manual written by a Dance and Movement Therapist.
July 19, 2006 (Press Release) --
Help your Special Needs Child through Improvisational Dance is an immediately downloadable e-manual. It's written by a Dance Movement Therapist whose main work has been with Children who have Special Needs. The manual really is one of a kind. No one has previously suggested that Parents of Children who have Special Needs are capable of acting as Dance Movement Therapists to their children in the privacy and familiar surroundings of their own home.
What is offered is not a cure but will bring about greater Harmony between Mind-Body-and-Spirit. You will notice results over time. This is a holistic form of therapy which is becoming better known. Dance and Movement Therapy is in itself not a cure but importantly it can bring about a more harmonious relationship between MIND-BODY-AND-SPIRIT resulting in a feeling of well-being. There is a great difference between Physical Education and Dance Movement Therapy. Physical Education is solely about exercise and improving and maintaining fitness levels. Dance Therapy is also about improving physical fitness but it must above all encourage self-expression. The aim is to encourage a feeling of harmony between all aspects of our Being which leads to a reduction in stress levels. Many people suffer from problems, sadness and fears which dance allows them to express safely and without the need for words. Dance and Movement Therapy can also lead to increased self-confidence and a greater feeling of self-worth as well as to greater social ability. Peoples' image of themselves changes positively.
All types of dance can serve the purposes of dance therapy - modern, folk, ballet etc. The classes must avoid any emphasis on technique or performance. Everyone does what he or she is capable of supported by the safe, non-judgmental environment which the therapist has created. The atmosphere should be such that people can relax and enjoy themselves. Personally I am very much in favor of improvisational dance in which the participants are helped to create their own dances. Dance Therapy is perfectly possible for wheelchair users or for those with limited mobility. The age of those taking part is irrelevant.
I have worked with many different age groups and people with many different problems but I would especially recommend this therapy to parents whose children have learning, behavioral or mobility problems.

You don't need to have trained as a professional dancer or even be an experienced amateur dancer. Parents just need to be open to the idea of having fun and communicating with their child in a new and different way. This approach fits in well with Home schooling Programmes.
The manual explains how to transform ordinary everyday movements into Dance. There is help in building lesson plans and suggestions for musical choices and props. In addition there is also a list of helpful resources. This is an approach to improved Wellbeing which does not involve drugs or medication of any kind and which may well help your Child who has Special Needs .
