Feldenkrais Method® for Children
FM provides unique opportunity for children with any developmental difficulties to engage in a learning process that is tailored to their individual needs.
In her work with children, Asha engages with child's intrinsic mechanisms of attention, curiosity, exploration, experimentation and integration.
Using a highly effective developmental model promoted by Sheryl Field of The Field Center for Children's Integrated Development, she gently brings a child to the next developmentally appropriate level by helping to sense and feel more accurately the structure of her/his body and the movement. Those elements are essential for the formation and emergence of new function and skill. As a child's quality of movement improves so does his/her balance, flexibility, and coordination. In turn, self-esteem and independence are also strengthened.
When the child's movement is easier and more comfortable, a child can better discover that there is more than one way to try to do something; that there are options. Therefore, with more choices available, a child has the possibility of finding greater success and greater learning in all aspects of his/her life.
Though early intervention is key for a child who is facing developmental difficulties, older children that are frequently considered to be beyond “the age” when improvement can be expected, have demonstrated the capacity to learn better overall functioning and therefore also the ability to develop important new skills.
