Yoga for Children with Cerebral Palsy: “Yoga for the Special Child”
I came across this book, Yoga for the Special Child also available at Amazon.com website.
It is a therapeutic yoga program for special needs kids, including those with cerebral palsy, Microcephaly and Autism.
Lots of gentle FUN exercised for children with special needs.
From their website,
Yoga for the Special Child is a comprehensive program of Yoga techniques designed to enhance the natural development of children with special needs. Our style of Yoga is gentle and therapeutic — safe for babies and children with Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Microcephaly, Autism and other developmental disabilities. These methods also provide an effective treatment for children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, ADHD and Learning Disabilities.
Yoga can not only help with flexibility but also raise self awareness and self esteem. If you are able, borrow copy of this book or request from your local library.
Why exercise is so important for children with cerebral palsy.
