I've been meaning to and needing to explore another technology. So I finally chose to look into MeMoves because I heard of it, but I had no idea what it was exactly.
This program was developed by a mother that was concerned for her child that has special needs. She couldn't accept that her daughter would never be able to learn, that she would always be "different". She did lots of research to find a way to help her and eventually she found connections through her research in the relationships between mind, body, movement, and music. She started to do a dance every morning and every night with her daughter and soon she was able to remember letters and sounds, when she always forget before.
It's so simple, but it's so creative. MeMoves is meant to help to calm the minds of children so that they can relax and make connections.
School is so stressful, especially for kids that are having trouble keeping up. This program actually works and would be a very positive thing to incorporate into the classroom.
Simply checking out the website has even calmed me down :)
Here is a link to the MeMoves blog.
This is really neat! I love the idea of this, I am also very impressed that this mother did not give up on her daughter! I am a firm believer that everyone is able to learn just in different ways.
