Teaching the A.T. to Children with Special Needs
“Give a child conscious control and you give him poise” f.m.Alexander
A practical way for working with children
Many teachers of the technique would love to work with children or are interested in this domain bur are reluctant to do so for all kinds of different reasons.
In the workshop I will discuss about different aspects of working with children (focusing on children with spaicial needs) and share my 30 years of work in this field.
The main motivation in giving this workshop is to assist Teachers Bridge the gap between wanting and actually doing it as well as helping those with experience find new possibilities and develop their skills.
I will show a few privet films not accessible to the public of case studies of my work and explain the different approach to each child.
During the workshop I will talk of many different aspects of working with children such as:
Preparing the room

First lesson with a child
Different approach to different ages
Timing
Giving directions during playing games
Working in a kindergarten
and plenty of space for questions and discussions.
