Children with special needs and their ability to s

Today, I just found out that all my students (11 children) can't do the marching steps (left leg step, right hand swing; right leg step, left hand swing). This made us, the teachers, surprised. I thought it was an automatic steps that we do.

When they walk like usual, they do it automatically (left leg step, right hand swing; right leg step, left hand swing). But when they're told to do it, they go: right leg step-right hand swing; left leg step-left hand swing. confused

I'm trying to find articles about that, but haven't succeed finding it..

If there's any special education teachers / special needs experts, mind to share your thoughts? Thanks! :)

oops i thought, you thought we had to tie them upteddybear

Hahaha.. Redex.. Nooo.. :p We usually use a colorful paper.. :D
Keep it kind the way your doing it and it will work out. They just don't understand and as a special needs class they probably won't because their little brains won't function in such a way to make elementary ways for you and me easy for them. You'll find a way!

I like Red-x's suggestion.
Thanks Ed! That's what I thought also.. :)
