Hi Ivana,
Mario Vittone - Boating & Water Safety commented on their Wall post.
Mario Vittone - Boating & Water Safety wrote: "Ivana: Children with CP can make significant gains in body awareness through swimming, and of course, swimming is widely used as an effective muscular development activity for special needs children. Your question is about safety, particularly articles on that subject, are going to be a tough find. For now, know that closer is always better than farther away - and watch constantly. That's true for every child though."http://mariovittone.com/2010/05/154/ -this is his face book page
I am loving the positive information about the gains made in the water.  I know that the body fights gravity but in the water there is less gravity for the parts submerged.  The hot tub is great for relaxing the muscles and warming them up before stretching (but never stay too long for it dehydrates the body) and now the body awareness is what I want for Jewel, lovely!

This is a page with information on ipad apps as an educational tool for children with special needs like cp
