M is a first grade student with Down syndrome. Her language skills are very limited so it is difficult to gauge her understanding of concepts she has been taught. She is also very shy about dancing or any physical movement, especially on her own (online). Anytime we are working on steady beat or learning a short sequence of movements, she uses her teddy bear. While she might be unable to express herself verbally and reluctant to move herself, she will happily make "bear" move accordingly. She can manipulate the movements of the toy a little more easily and she is overcoming her shyness as well. Using the teddy bear, she will unwittingly demonstrate any skills involving coordinated and timed movement. |
