Abstract:
Joey, a child with cerebral palsy, has several physical and intellectual disabilities. Joey is also repeatedly described as a “floppy” baby, as he has poor control over movement, balance, and posture. This video demonstrates several exercises to help Joey develop physically and mentally to the best of his capabilities. These include stretching exercises and listening to soothing music. A ball of yarn and bowl of water are both used to exercise Joey’s tactile senses. This session is one of many, and the instructor is hoping to continue working with Joey so that he can start to feed on his own.
