Liven up learning with the interactive songs on this music CD that are designed to give students hands-on practice in achieving common IEP goals. This CD is adaptable for students at a variety of mobility levels, including those who utiliize wheelchairs, and is ideal for use by both therapists and classroom teachers. The refreshingly original songs break down movement sequences into easy to teach components. Tunes range in style from hip-hop, to country, and pop, complete with entertaining themes that spark imagination and creativity.
Watch your students shine as they practice simple dance steps, partner activities, warm-up stretches, and follow the leader games with the benefit of extended response time. Music not only keeps your students on-task, but also serves as a timekeeper to help with pacing, coordination, and endurance.
