A multi-handicapped classroom at Elgin West Elementary School in Marion, Ohio, is using the Nintendo Wii to increase students' fine and gross motor skills and help them deal with the concept of winning and losing while they increase their attention in the classroom.
Kevin McDaniels, the teacher in the classroom, said that he had seen online how a lot of nursing homes had begun using Wiis for physical therapy so he decided to see if it would also work in his classroom.
In the school’s current program, the students receive physical or occupational therapy once a week, but they can use the Wii daily, which is a major benefit to them.
