Self-Care Watch Me Do It

 

The video library was created by Manchester Metropolitan University to help dyspraxic children learn everyday movement skills, but it is free to use for anyone who might find the videos helpful.

 

To use the library, search the thumbnail images above to see the different movement skills videos available. Click the image to access the videos, then select either the right-handed or left-handed option.

 

When the videos play, watch the movements carefully and pay attention to how the person in the video moves. Then have a go at practicing the skill yourself, trying to copy the movement shown in the video. You can re-watch the videos and practice the skills as often as you need.

 

As well as watching the movements, you might find it helpful to imagine that you are the person in the video and to imagine the feeling of doing each movement as you watch it. We also encourage you to hold the objects shown in the videos as you watch them where possible.
