Building Better Learners: the Snapp Approach Darlene H. Schmidt

In this book you will find information on how you can help your child be better equipped to successfully respond to academic instruction as well as increase his level of skill in all activities - including sports. The concepts presented are not new. Years ago researchers, working with children with learning problems, created programs that included neuro-motor involvement to help improve learning. Some of these programs have been around for decades and some have been refined. Unfortunately most of the time the programs have been used only when helping individuals who had obvious disabilities. It is the intent of the authors to preserve as much as possible the teachings of Ed Snapp who saw the potential of using these activities in elementary school classrooms to enhance the abilities of all children.
