SHOW ME – Educational 1960s film-Physical Education for Developmentally Disabled

16mm Educational Film
Show Me, United World Films, 1960s, 30 min.
The descriptions included here are from a period source (apologies for its use of terms that are no longer considered appropriate for the subject the film covers):  The film is designed to promote the teaching of movement and rhythms to the mentally retarded. It provides a channel through which physical educators may introduce a program adapted to the specific needs of the mentally retarded.  It seeks to promote the idea that planned physical education can achieve good bodily movement.
And
This film deals with some of the basic motor problems of the severely retarded. Filming was done at Wood County Retarded School (Ohio) with children who had no regular physical education program at the school. Many of the activities shown were new to these boys and girls who had their first exposure to them during the filming itself. The major teaching method employed and demonstrated involves exploration of movement sequences include activities which emphasize (a) movement in space, (b) time elements in movement, (c) force variations, (d) movement integration, (e) handling and manipulating objects, (f) rhythmic and creative expression, and (g) partner work. Through active participation body image, body control and coordination, and object exploration are promoted.
