Daniel Can Do - Clip 5

Now back to the music. This is one called... I think Elvis did this. The way that I try and help children who've got movement difficulties like Daniel has developed because I think that getting them motivated to learn movement is the most important thing of all and clinical movement sessions are not going to get them motivated in the same way as ordinary activities that they really, really want to learn. And so working in this way in collaboration with school and with parents and with the child seems to be a very successful way of getting them to learn what they need to learn. And to some extent they choose the things themselves that they really want to do, and if one can add some sort of back-up and encouragement and guidance for that, I think one has done one's job. And in Daniel's case it does really seem to work. Here is a boy whose score on the Movement ABC hasn't really changed that much, but who's living a very full life, is excited by what he does and his latest school results have been absolutely excellent, his school report this term has been really, really encouraging. You'll definitely love this.
