  Hi Rebecca!

  I can recommend a book by two Australian colleagues:
  Dunphy, K. & Scott, J. (2000).  Freedom to move: Movement and dance for people with intellectual disabilities. Sydney: Maclennan & Petty.  You can buy this using credit card from the Dance-movement Therapy Association of Australia website - www.dtaa.org.au/

  It is an excellent book with lots of movement/dance activities suitable for this population, but importantly they are given within a very coherent and grounded framework which draws on the authors' knowledge of the arts and disability and their knowledge and practical experience of using dance/movement based on Laban.  It addresses work with adults and with children, as well as areas such as the differentiation and intersection of community dance/creative dance and therapy with this group.  It also looks at issues of how one sets up groups, how one works co-operatively with families, professional carers, instititutions etc., program planning and evaluation.  As I said, an excellent book!

  Best wishes,
  Heather

    Hi,

    I'm seeking recommendations on books with DT activities appropriate for working with Developmentally Disabled adults. Any suggestions are appreciated. 

    Thanks,

    Rebecca Bradley
