The blog post Please Stop Punishing Kids for Their Invisible Disabilities highlights an important concept in the NeuroMovement® world. As an ABM professional I meet my clients where they are at. Whether it is a child with with ASD, a teen with Cerebral Palsy , or an adult who has had a stroke. We always start with what is possible for that person.
I begin by connecting to that individual on the table in front of me. I must let go of my own expectations of what I think they "need" and any desires to "fix" them. Instead, I join their nervous system exactly where they are, and using my understanding of brain plasticity principles, I help facilitate learning so that they are able to create new neural pathways and movement/thinking/feeling patterns.
It's not about me.
