NeuroMovement® for Children with special needs or disabilities
Watching your child face developmental challenges, learning disabilities, or physical and neurological conditions can be overwhelming. It’s natural to wonder if there’s a way to help them learn, grow, and thrive despite these obstacles.
That’s where NeuroMovement® comes in—a groundbreaking method designed to support brain development and learning in children with special needs. By harnessing the power of natural movement patterns, this approach stimulates brain plasticity, creating new and healthy neural connections. The results can be profound, often exceeding expectations and unlocking abilities you didn’t think were possible.
​
Every child is unique, with their own pace of growth and learning. With the right environment and support, every child’s brain has the capacity to adapt and thrive. Whether your child is navigating developmental delays, learning disabilities, or physical and neurological conditions, NeuroMovement® can help awaken their brain for optimal learning and development.
​
I am proud to be the first resident practitioner offering NeuroMovement® intensives and programs for neurodivergent children in Montreal. Let’s work together to give your child the tools they need to grow, learn, and achieve their fullest potential.

In Teens and young adults, including typically developing children, the method also helps regulate anxiety, stress and body image​.
​
ABM NeuroMovement® is a science based method that uses body-brain connections to feed into the main brain functions involved in learning and growing: attention, sensation, and the perception of differences are the key ingredients to a learning brain.

Empower your child's learning ability
I work with children of all ages and various types of disabilities or challenges. The Anat Baniel Method of NeuroMovement® is very different from what your child has already experienced in occupational therapy, physiotherapy, ABA or speech therapy. We create conditions for your child to acquire awareness and agency - not just be passive receivers of exercises that are the same for everyone and repeated endlessly.
​
As a mom to a child with special needs myself, I know what you are going through: the endless therapy sessions in which your child seems to either suffer or not be engaged, the frustration that a child might feel if they are not able to communicate or achieve what they want; your own challenges in navigating the health system and advocating for your child.
​
When I work in NeuroMovement® with children with different abilities or additional needs, I bring deep connection to each child and to the whole family. Although it's difficult to predict results, your child will benefit from increased physical comfort and self-awareness, increased perception of differences and sensation, and a calmed nervous system. They may be able to do new things, learn new things, express themselves differently, and in the end, become the best version of themselves. I know this because I've seen the changes this work brought to my child and my own family. There is hope.
