Wake up Your Child's Brain

Both Maggie & Ned have trained with Anat Baniel and graduated from her The Anat Baniel Method℠ professional training where a great deal of focus is placed on  how to wake up the brains of developmentally challenged children.  Whether your child has cerebral palsy, Down's Syndrome, Fragile X Syndrome, Brachial Plexus Injury, or other challenge, The Anat Baniel Method℠ offers a unique approach to empower your child to reach his/her full potential.  Children are learning machines--even developmentally challenged children.  Children depend almost 100% on experientially learning everything they'll ever be able to do.  Where does that learning occur?  In the brain.  
The brain's  job is to create billions upon billions of new connections and organize them into coherent and effective patterns of movement, thought, emotion, feeling and action.  --  Anat Baniel
The Anat Baniel Method℠ is a science-based, revolutionary approach to waking up your child's brain in ways he/she can understand and make effective use of.  We provide your child with relevant information embedded in experiential exploratory learning conditions that allow your child to learn, grow, and even thrive.  He/she will transform limitations into surprising new possibilities.  


From introduction written by Norman Dodge, MD to Anat Baniel's book, Kids Beyond Limits:

Following in the footsteps of the revolutionary scientist-clinician Moshe Feldenkrais, the greatest thinker about how to improve movement in the twentieth century, [Anat] Baniel shows why our mainstream approach to these children is often wrong, and at times damaging, because they train the children to 'ape' developmental milestone they are not developmentally ready to meet. The approach here, far wiser, far more subtle, truly holistic, far more ingenious, far more in accord with how brain development occurs, shows ways to access the child's OWN brain plasticity, and yields far greater results, so that the children can spontaneously grow from within.
