Children with special needs

Improve your child’s abilities through neuroplasticity and movement

Children with specific needs – whether neurological, motor, sensory, or related to autism spectrum disorders – often face challenges in their overall development. Traditional approaches based on repetitive exercises can be insufficient or poorly suited to each child’s unique needs.

These sessions are for children with specific needs, including: • Cerebral palsy (IMC) • Brain injuries or stroke (AVC) recovery • Premature birth with developmental delays • Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) • Learning difficulties and motor impairments • Genetic conditions affecting movement and coordination • Congenital injuries (e.g., brachial plexus lesions) • Dystonias and other neuromotor disorders The Feldenkrais Method is designed to support children with diverse diagnoses, fostering their unique potential for growth and movement.

Expected Benefits of Feldenkrais Sessions for Children and Parents: • Increased Comfort and Ease – Children experience less physical tension, allowing for smoother, more natural movement in daily life. • Enhanced Ability to Carry Out Intentions – By developing clearer motor pathways, children gain confidence in initiating and completing actions like reaching, sitting, or turning. • Improved Emotional Regulation – A greater sense of physical ease often leads to calmer, more stable emotions, helping children manage new or unexpected situations. • Expanding Possibilities for Action – Small but meaningful changes open new opportunities for play, interaction, and independence. For Parents: • Deeper Understanding of Their Child’s Needs – Parents gain insight into how their child learns and moves, fostering empathy and patience. • Simple Tools to Support Progress at Home – Parents learn gentle techniques to help their child feel more at ease, reinforcing improvements between sessions. • Increased Confidence – As parents witness their child’s growth, they feel more equipped and reassured in supporting their development. The Feldenkrais Method empowers both children and their families, enhancing quality of life and strengthening the connection between action, intention, and emotional well-being.
