The Schlachte Method™ employs various visual teaching methods to assist the visual learner and teach visual learning skills. Some examples include: utilizing a visual schedule, color-coded and clearly designated personal work areas, use of mirrors, accompanying DVDs for classes, etc.

The Schlachte Method™ utilizes classical ballet music that was specifically composed for each class. All music was composed to assist the auditory learner and to teach the auditory skill of timing (when to move) and what emotion is being expressed. Likewise, all music was composed to correlate with the images and the story being told in the DVD.

This is exemplified through full body movement. The Schlachte Method™ focuses on every part of the body from facial expressions to the tips of the fingers to the toes. This method also assists each child in learning body awareness and physical coordination.

Likewise, these exercises teach spatial awareness through the designated spaces on the floor and through combinations completed with other students.

The first step in emotional intelligence is the ability to identify emotions. The Schlachte Method™ teaches children to identify emotions through body movements, musicality, and facial expressions. We also make significant efforts to make environments safe and have minimal sensory distractions so students can focus on expressing themselves emotionally without any anxiety or fear.
