I'm in the great position of working with groups of children. Myself and a Physio colleague tend to run a number of groups together (actually a great way of learning eachother's roles and working very well!) and focus on children with both gross and fine motor difficulties. We have found that by focusing more on what we are wanting to achieve by running the group we can encorporate a wide range of activities including movement. More recently we've been looking at the advantages of Rebound Therapy with our kids and are planning to run a group with them... Should keep us hopping (literally). But I do agree that you need to keep chaging activities, especially with children where activities very quickly become 'boring' and need to be adapted! Veronica

I could do the same thing indefinitely if I am doing with different people, or even the same people, and they are *enjoying* it. It's the patients who want new things. Remember, they are there 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 6 weeks. They loved it when it was a brand new experience, but the new has worn off.
