From the Paper:

"Similar to the visual type of learner, a music teacher can provide non-traditional learners with movement activities that may be related to music learning. Research and studies show that if movement activities are helpful to the learning process of individuals without disabilities, it is similarly effective to the learning process of disabled individuals. This is because movements can serve as alternatives in the memorization of information and movements such as dances are easy to remember. For students with physical disabilities, however, it is not necessary that the movement method will involve the whole body of an individual. For instance, hand movement is as effective in learning as with full body movement."
