Re: OT Creativity and Education: a thought provoking talk by SirKen Robinson at the TED CONFERENCE

Near the end of the talk, his story about Gillian Lynne was  
thought-provoking and moving.

"Some people have to move to think."  He suggests that some kids who  
are naturally kinesthetic are dancers -- and they may be diagnosed now  
as ADHD.

For those of us who are musicians some of his thoughts resonate. How  
many of us have been told by well-meaning parents or others to do  
something "practical" rather than to pursue music?

A bittersweet experience to listen to this.
