Disabilities

Progression for people with disabilities is the same, it is simply transposed depending on the disability. E.g. someone who's paralyzed from the hips down will turn with their hips rather than feet. So angulation starts at the hips.

Kids

Kids are different in a mental and physical way.

Teaching kids follows the same progression, but the methods might differ, using more showing and less telling, much more games, rewards and showing than for adults, and a different rhythm (pauses to play in snow). One step at a time. As they grow older, they need less assistance and more challenges.
