About the Author

Dr. Schmidt has worked with six other educators in selecting materials for this book. She has had teaching experience in all age levels of body movement styles as a physical educator. Late in her career, Dr. Schmidt met Physical Therapist, E. A. Snapp, who introduced her to an entirely new approach to human movement and how one learns (and one teaches) those movements while giving attention to the learner's background, perception, and fatigue. Snapp believed that learning begins at conception, following the Genetic Code and that the failures, caused by trauma, meant that things learned before birth had been erased. Schmidt used his techniques with age-group gymnasts by simulating the prenatal environment: darkness, fetal position, etc., as developed by Snapp. In addition, she used his basic crawling patterns that together resulted in improved movement patterns in her athletes. The Snapp Approach methods are presented in Building Better Learners.
