{"value"=>"<p> <span class=\"title\">Dance/Movement Therapy with Special Children in a N.Y.C Board of Education Setting</span></p> <p>This paper is the synthesis of existing literature in the field of dance/movement therapy with “special” children, and the author's experiences as a dance/movement therapist in a special education setting within the New York City Board of Education system. Included are successful as well as less-than-successful, interventions and activities that the author has used over the course of the past three years. Within the framework of the paper, the author has also conveyed her philosophy and attitude about her work, including how she has attempted to synthesize theory and practice. An attempt is made to delineate what it is about the NEW YORK CITY educational system that is not presently conducive to the practice of dance/movement therapy; and what would have to change in order to effectively incorporate dance/movement therapy into the system.</p>"}
