About This Course
Are you a parent, grandparent, caregiver, teacher, or therapist to a child with special challenges? Do you feel that there is an intelligent, loving, "hidden" child within who could do and be far more than seems possible right now? You may be wondering, What is possible for my child?
In this course you will discover that almost always the child, and also you, can do better. You will learn new ways of thinking, feeling, and doing that open new possibilities that can be surprising in their immediacy and simplicity. (This course is designed for the general public and is not practitioner training.)
When we perceive something as broken, the natural tendency is to try and fix it. This can work well with inanimate objects. Humans need connections to grow and thrive. In this 11-module course, you will explore, experience, and experiment with the meaning and practice of shifting from fixing to connecting, discover its remarkable power to create positive change, and learn how to apply it in your daily life with your child, family member, or in your work.

What Participants are Saying
~ Clara C.,Physical Therapist
"The course was so amazing. I noticed my own health has improved in the last 10 weeks. I started running again. The people that I support as a physiotherapist have also benefited - from an adult learning to feed herself for the first time, to kids learning to tie their shoelaces for the first time, without me actually asking them to, and a little boy with autism who was able to verbalize his sensory needs for the first time ever.”
~ Lesli T., Parent
"I am very happy and inspired to be a part of this course with so many courageous and amazing parents and therapists. The Essential of SLOW has been hugely successful in just the day-and-a-half of practicing it. It is so simple, yet powerful. I felt such empowerment - both in the outcomes and in the respect was able to give my daughter. THANK YOU, Anat."
~ Chloe M., Parent
"Just applying the nine essentials to myself I'm reclaiming my life and the life of my children and what their lives can be."
