Teaching Movement
to Students of All Abilities
Too often, students with disabilities are left out.
But everyone wants to know they belong. Getting students up and moving is an effective, non-verbal way to:
- Level the playing field
- Facilitate meaningful social bonds
- Ease unwanted behaviors stemming from tense group dynamics
- Improve proprioception
- Develop fine and gross motor skills
- Learn sequencing
- Increase self-regulation
In Teaching Movement to Performers of All Abilities, you’ll discover how powerful dance can be in creating a more engaging learning environment for all students.

Common Questions
Do I need performing arts experience?
Absolutely not. Our courses give you everything you need to plan, execute, and troubleshoot performing arts curriculum in your classroom. No experience required!
Are the courses appropriate for students with more severe behaviors?
Yes. You deserve tips and tools for every situation. That's why we include our bonus Behavior as Communication workbook with each course. With this resource, you can uncover the hidden meaning behind disruptive behaviors and more effectively manage them in your own classroom.
What if I don't want to put on a production?
You don't have to! Our courses give you everything you need to use the arts in your classroom, not just on a stage.
How long can I access my courses?
You get 24/7, on-demand access for 24 months. Refer back again and again as you implement what you learn in your own classroom!
How do I access the content?

Is there financial aid available?
If cost is a concern, we have grant opportunities available! Email financialaid@peoplelikeusdoc.com for more information.
Are your courses only for teachers?
No! Our courses are also designed for community theaters, transition programs, curious parents, and school-based therapists like OTs and SLPs.
What is a CEU? Are you a licensed CEU provider?
CEU stands for “continuing education unit.” You may be more familiar with the term PDH (“professional development hour") or CPE ("continuing professional education"). These terms are interchangeable and refer to the continuing education credits that educators and therapists need for recertification.
CEU/PDH/CPE approval and licensure is a district-by-district decision. Be sure to get approval from your school district before starting your course(s). Use this justification letter template if you need help getting started.
Can I request a purchase order?
Of course! Email billing@peoplelikeusdoc.com if your district needs information to set us up as a new vendor and/or to request a purchase order.
