Here is what Wendy Sawyers, Head of Unit, Chestnut Lodge, Rad stock, England had to
say of the authors work:-

"The group taking part in Mrs Cudjoe-Calvocoressi\'s sessions was of very mixed ability - ranging from wheelchair bound PMLD pupils and children with behaviour difficulties to much more able, mobile pupils. All of them gained a great deal from the sessions, enjoying being involved, with many of them gradually moving well to the music; and improvising for themselves. They looked forward to Mrs Cudjoe-Calvocoressi's visits and these sessions led to further work in art from some of them.

I, personally, thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the sessions - finding them an enjoyable means of exercising, therapeutic and creative; as well as a good learning experience."

Parents and relatives will be fully aware of a child's physical and intellectual capabilities and are not likely to ask the child to do more than he or she can comfortably manage. Why not experience this programme at first hand?
