ON THE PATH TO THE SUMMIT
You may already know our beautiful sunshine Mika! She enriches and understands our world although autism and development delays have limited her ability to acquire and use language, and making social interactions with her peers challenging. She also falls behind in areas of development such as fine and gross motor skills and self-care abilities. Her sister, mom and dad believe that she is amazing the way she is now and that she can learn so much more through personalized learning in her most effective environment diminished of simulations. We have chosen to have a positive and loving attitude in the face of her challenges and we still appreciate your help to make our dreams of training come true and we are forever grateful for your support! Thank you.
Mika started movement lessons in the Anat Baniel Method (ABM). This is a cutting edge, science-based approach that transforms the lives of children by helping access the remarkable capacities of the human brain to change itself. Movement lessons are designed to create and enhance brain-plasticity and work on reflex integration. We are delighted by the results we have observed and the possibilities: its philosophy is symbiotic with our home based program in the Son-Rise method and the movement component is complimentary. Mika acquires a new range of movement after ABM sessions and her her learning switch is turned ON. We are delighted to share our path with the amazing ABM therapist Phoebe McRae and Mika also has the chance to complete some intensive trainings with Andrea Bowers. I highly recommend reading this book by Anat Baniel titled "Kids Beyond Limits; it changed my life as the mother of two "neuro-diverse" amazing girls! Here's a review by Michael Merzenich, Ph. D Neuroscientist.

The Training JourneyIn the winter of 2012 Mom Geneviève and dad Tod went to New York to take the Son-Rise training, recently awarded Best Autism Therapy at the AutismOne National Conference.(www.autismtreatmentcenter.org) We immediately started implementing the strategies learned during the training and observed positive changes in Mika as well as ourselves. Mom is now home schooling her with the support of Self-Design and five amazing learning consultants. Mika has started using one to three word sentences and she now chooses to socialize with us as opposed to withdrawing into her own world. That's a huge change!
