Core text for the internationally renowned Sherborne children's
developmental movement programme. A new forward and new resources
listed. In this practical and thought-provoking book, Veronica Sherborne
shows how developmental movement has a crucial role to play in the lives
of all children. Central to her theory is the belief that relating to
oneself and relating to other people are essential for the satisfactory
development of us all. Developmental movement can be particularly
beneficial to children with learning disabilities, children with
physical disabilities, and children who are emotionally and behaviourly
disturbed. The book offers practical help in understanding and meeting
children's needs. It covers what to teach and why, and shows in detail -
with the aid of marvellously expressive photographs - how to set about
carrying out a planned programme of activities that are geared to the
needs of specific groups.
