I found this article explaining abnormal hip, knee and ankle movement in the gait of people with Down Syndrome. It is due to hypotonia, ligament laxity and motor dysfunction.http://www.mnstate.edu/stockram/joint%20stiffness%20and%20gait%20pattern%20evaluation%20in%20children%20with%20down%20synrome.pdfI think it is clear why ABM would make such a difference in this type of case.Below is a

I'm posting this here because many children with special needs have greater difficulty in calming themselves and quieting their brain enough to sleep. This article has some good resources for helping children learn to settle their own systems and get to sleep on their own.

This article (click title to view) is about how to find your inspiration. As I was reading I was struck by the author's use of the words "listen" (to yourself), "focus", "intention", and "awareness". These are the language of learning and vitality and ABM. Inspiration and a purpose in life were my rewards from doing ABM and the Feldenkrais Method. Here are the nine essentials:1. Movement with
