NeuroMovement® For Children
No matter how difficult the situation may seem, your child has a powerful resource: a brain that can learn and change throughout life.
NeuroMovement® lessons and parent learning experiences are designed to support movement, attention, communication, emotions, cognition and everyday participation by engaging the brain’s capacity to learn.
NeuroMovement® practitioners work with children of all ages and with a wide range of needs and challenges, including (but not limited to) the areas below:
ADHD in Children
Children diagnosed with ADHD improve their speech, reasoning, reading & writing, social functioning, thinking, and coordination.
Autism
With NeuroMovement, children diagnosed on the autism spectrum (ASD) begin moving, thinking, interacting, and feeling better way.
Birth Defects
Children born with torticollis and a wide variety of birth defects overcome limitations and often achieve full, or almost full, functioning with NeuroMovement.
Brachial Plexus Injury
Children who have brachial plexus injuries often experience breakthrough results by taking advantage of the brain’s ability to change and to “map” the affected arm, despite the injury.
Brain Injury & Stroke
Children with brain injuries or strokes become happier, improve academically, and develop more independent and satisfying lives.
Cerebral Palsy
Children with cerebral palsy form new, more effective patterns of movement, cognition, feeling, and emotion with NeuroMovement.
Genetic Disorders
Children with genetic disorders will form new neural connections that help them move past their limitations and experience new possibilities.
Scoliosis
Children who have scoliosis experience reduced pain, more flexibility and strength in their backs, better and easier breathing, and enhanced vitality and well-being.
Undiagnosed Developmental Delays
Children who have undiagnosed developmental delays become more effective and powerful learners, irrespective of a diagnosis.
