Special Education Center Uses Wii for Therapy

A special education program in Milton-Freewater, Oregon is using the Nintendo Wii to help kids with various disabilities gain coordination and balance. The Learning Center bought the system this summer, thanks to a grant from a local Casino and has since been integrating it into its therapy program. Center leaders realize that keeping the mood light is very important with these young kids and that motivation is a key factor in therapy. The Nintendo Wii helps that motivation happen.
