Kids with autism develop life skills through dance at UD

Here in the United States, about one in 59 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder, according to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A dance study at the University of Delaware College of Health Sciences is focused on developing social communication skills, motor skills and behavior in children with autism. The study is through the Move to Learn Innovation Lab at UD's STAR Campus, where students under the direction of Dr. Anjana Bhat work with kids for 16 weeks of music, dancing and fun.

I think dancing is part of our human nature, dancing and singing, from the time we rock our new borns to sleep and sing them lullabies...motor skills are communocation skills.
