Kids with Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) are impacted to some degree by The 10 Characteristics of CVI. Every child is unique and there are significant differe...nces from individual to individual as to how The 10 Characteristics of CVI impact visual functioning. There is the expectation that the vision of a child with CVI will improve, but only with facilitated adaptations and interventions that are personalized for the childs current level of visual function. Understanding how your child is impacted by The 10 Characteristics of CVI is critical to knowing your childs current level of visual function. Contact [email protected] for more information. In the meantime, its time to get familiar with The 10 Characteristics of CVI. We will be sharing 2 characteristic per day for the next week.

I have learned and gained so much through my work and friendship with Shelly. In generously sharing her wisdom, knowledge and experience she is also touching the lives of many others by being a light, providing support and hope. Im excited to continue working together and grateful for the time we have been able to share.

Beautifully said by Shelly as always. By first paying attention to ourselves, we are much better able to notice, understand and respond to others in a compassionate and loving way. NeuroMovement lessons enable the student to connect to themselves in a new way and provide the optimal conditions for the brain to pay attention, learn and form new connections. Outcomes are seen in improvement on a physical, cognitive and emotional level....

Shellys latest blog highlights the essential of Flexible Goals. Embracing flexible goals is to have goals but to hold them loosely. In that space between where you are and achieving your goals you are able to provide your brain with rich learning opportunities. It is knowing that learning happens in the process, by letting go of the outcome and through the mistakes and mis-steps along the way. https://autismlighterside.com///04/building-relationships/

I just cant say enough about how much I enjoyed reading the book The Lighter Side written by Shelly Wedge whose son receives ABM NeuroMovement lessons at ClearMovement Studio. Shelly takes us along with her family as they move through lifes joys and challenges. She so beautifully offers her experience and all the knowledge and information she has acquired while continually seeking how to best support her son who is on the autism spectrum. Shelly openly welcomes us all... into their perfectly imperfect life, which I feel we can all relate to. Intertwined in this genuine heartfelt and honest compilation of real events is a wealth of information and resources. Shelly shares what has worked well for her son and also what has not worked so well. She also provides a comprehensive list of resources at the back of the book. If you would like to follow Shelly and her wonderful family beyond the book, she continues to offer information, inspiration and insight through her blog which can be found on her website: https://autismlighterside.com/. I always look forward to learning from Shelly and joining her and her family as they continue to find the lighter side and remind us to look for it as well.

Another beautiful blog by Shelly. https://autismlighterside.com/2019/05/09/movement/

I am so blessed to do this work and to meet such extraordinary children and families through it. These words from a parent whose child receives lessons at ClearMovement studio have truly touched my heart. "We were made aware of the Anat Baniel Method through a friend who was actively participating in care for their child. Anyone who knows about this method also knows there are only a few of these trained practitioners in Ontario. We sought out to research the method and t...he practitioners to determine whether we would include it and them in my sons journey toward achieving success. Sal entered our life in October 2018 and has been an integral part since then. Her unassuming and non-judgemental quality came across in our very first discussion. She actively listened to our familys concerns and offered to meet us. She welcomed us literally with open arms and continues to do so. Her studio, her teaching style and her personality exude positivity and inclusion. Her innate compassion is obvious allowing a strong rapport to develop between her and our family. We always feel completely comfortable discussing ongoing concerns with her. Our son has flourished since October 2018 because he has someone he can truly trust to guide his lessons without apprehension. She has created a remarkably comfortable environment which allows for enhanced learning and development. Language, gross and fine motor control and social skills have all been enhanced from the very beginning. Her balanced approach which has nurtured and influenced our entire familys continuous attempt at improvement has proven to be priceless. We recognize and appreciate that life as we know it is just as much about the journey as it is about the destination and Sal has touched ours in an unexpectedly, extraordinary way. We are beyond grateful for having found the Anat Baniel Method and specifically Sal. We have tried and incorporated many types of therapy in our sons life all with great success but one may say that with Sal we have found the needle in the haystack." Thank you Sal, Your forever grateful clients. For more information please visit www.clearmovementstudio.com

Still a few spots left in Judith Dacks Neuroplasticity workshop this weekend in Toronto - April 13th & 14th. Join us!

Ty has been coming for lessons since he was FIVE MONTHS old. Read why his parent recommend ABM and attending Judiths workshop. Our six year old son has Down ...syndrome and thanks to Judith he is fully integrated in a typical private school. Since we started ABM Therapy at five months old we saw profound changes in our son. His world expanded and he became increasingly engaged and focused; able to integrate and apply his learning. He does not require an aid or an IEP and keeps up with his typical peers. He has a strong command of his gross and fine motor skills and loves to ski, skate, write sentences, and play on all the equipment at our local parks. Our son loves Judith and always looks forward to the sessions. He continues to grow beyond historical limits placed on children with Down syndrome and we highly recommend Judiths workshops and ABM sessions. Valerie and Dave Tih You can read more testimonials about Judiths workshops on Workshops page on our website: http://uptownstudio.ca/workshops/ #AnatBanielMethod #ABM #Neuromovement #Neuroplasticity
