Movement Discovery Linking the Impossible to the Possible.
Bornell, Donald G.
Practical Pointers, v3 n9 Jan 1980
Activities designed to increase the movement ability and enjoyment of disabled students are described. The first section discusses three activities--aerial shuffleboard, aerial golf, and bottles and eggs--designed to improve eye-hand coordination and throwing ability. The use of cardboard walking stilts is discussed as a method to improve kinesthesis and gross motor planning, while performing the Charleston is said to improve rhythmic movements to music through auditory and kinesthetic synthesis. A final activity--modified skateboarding--was created for children with cerebral palsy and poor coordination. (CL)
