NeuroMovement®
Working with Babies & children
No matter how difficult the situation may seem, your child has a powerful resource: a brain with the remarkable capacity to learn, adapt, and change throughout life—a capacity known as neuroplasticity, or brain plasticity.
The ABM® NeuroMovement® method engages this capacity through movement with attention, sensing, thinking, noticing differences, and exploring variations. Rather than focusing only on correcting difficulties, NeuroMovement® lessons and parent learning experiences create opportunities for learning and development that may support movement, communication, emotions, thinking, and participation in everyday life.
NeuroMovement® practitioners work with children of all ages and with a wide range of needs and challenges.
Ways to Support Your Child's Learning Through NeuroMovement®
-
Individual Functional Synthesis® (FS) Lessons — Individualized sessions with an ABMNM® practitioner designed to support your child's learning and development.
-
Transformational Movement Lessons® (TML) — Movement lessons offered in person or online for teens and adults, inviting greater awareness, exploration, and learning.
-
Online Coaching and Guided Learning — Opportunities to work with an ABMNM® practitioner to explore new ways of supporting your child's learning.
-
From Fixing to Connecting (FFTC) — Our educational course for parents, caregivers, and professionals introduces the Nine Essentials and explores how to bring these principles of neuroplasticity and learning into everyday life. By becoming more aware of our own thinking, habits, and responses, we can discover new ways of connecting with children and creating opportunities for learning, problem-solving, and development.

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.
