From Fixing to Connecting (FFTC) invites you to explore a different way of seeing and supporting children through the principles of the 9 Essentials of ABM® NeuroMovement®. Through video lectures, simple exploration activities, and weekly live conversations, you'll discover ways to connect with greater awareness, curiosity, and respect—opening the door to new possibilities for learning, development, and growth.

Designed for parents, family members, therapists, educators, healthcare professionals, caregivers, and anyone who supports children of all abilities and needs

The course includes 11 self-paced online modules, weekly live conversations where participants share experiences, wonder together, and learn from one another, along with practical Exploration Tools to help bring the ideas into everyday life. Questions are always welcome, but many participants find that hearing others' experiences brings the concepts to life in new and meaningful ways.

Whether you are exploring these ideas for the first time or revisiting them with fresh eyes, From Fixing to Connecting offers a meaningful introduction to the ABM® NeuroMovement® approach. It is also an excellent course to take while waiting for the next Basic Training to begin, although it is not a prerequisite.

Offered by the ABM® NeuroMovement® Association International.

For ABMNM Practitioners

Wednesday Wonderings

60-Min Monthly Gathering Next Call: July 22,  2026

A forum of the ABM® NeuroMovement® Association, open to all ABMNM Practitioners worldwide

Each month, Wednesday Wonderings brings ABMNM practitioners together for a one-hour gathering — enriched by the experiences of teaching staff and practitioners worldwide. A space to evolve, connect, and discuss, where we build a community that advances public awareness of the benefits of ABM® NeuroMovement®. Gatherings are recorded for later viewing.

As part of this forum, practitioners explore how to bring ABM® NeuroMovement® awareness into their own communities — schools, families, caregivers, and allied professionals — as an extension of the Association's mission of global public outreach. And what more the Association can do on this website to inform the public about the benefits of ABMNM.

Supplemental Courses

Prelude Program: Working with Children

1 Module Online Self Study & LIVE Calls

This program is offered to any ABMNM® Practitioner. 

In the early 1980s, Anat began working with children with special needs. Observing Moshe Feldenkrais early in her career—without explanation, discussion, or pressure to perform—deeply shaped her approach. This immersive, goal-free learning experience became the foundation of her creativity and work.

Today, Anat offers her graduates the same opportunity for absorption, observation, and discovery.

At Home Coaching

2 Modules:  Online Self Study & LIVE Calls

This program is offered to ABMNM® Practitioners who have completed the Children's Mastery Program.

In the At Home Coaching program, introduced in 2020, you will learn to guide parents, care providers, and other family members to use the 9 Essentials and observations. The sessions focus on coaching the caregiver to interact with the child in ways that awaken the child's or adult's learning capacity. This allows them to apply the method in their daily lives. Coaching can happen in the comfort of a client's own home, or another facility, removing the need for travel.
