You Too Can Dance!
Do you use a wheelchair and think dancing is off-limits because you can't walk? Wheelchair-users of all levels are having fun on the dance floor and you can too. All it takes is getting rid of shyness, a great smile and of course, practice. There are loads of awesome dances and moves that work great if you use a wheelchair. From ballroom dancing to hip-hop, you can wheelchair dance. Dancing is good for you too. When you use a wheelchair, you can be left out on a lot of fun things. We have to watch from the sidelines a lot and we all know how boring it can be. So put on your dancing wheels and get ready. If Artie on Glee can show everyone at school that wheelchair-users can be awesome dancers, why can't you?

Early Intervention services are federally mandated through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Children from birth to age three who are identified as being at risk for developmental disabilities may qualify for these services. Successful intervention benefits the child, the family, and the surrounding community by improving physical and cognitive development from an early age, decreasing future needs for Special Education and medical services.
