I had a student in my dance class last year with Down Syndrome. I had him sit/stand close to the front near me during the warm up section of class, never in the back. He would give up when we got to certain stretches or moves. I used positive reinforcement and tried to encourage him as often as possible. I would demonstrate the steps or combination with him and danced with him across the floor. The part I loved the most was that the students began to help him with difficult things and demonstrate and they would encourage him every chance they got. Proud teacher moment. |
