Our ‘MovementWorks For Learning’ Professional Development Day at The Albany, Deptford on 25th September helps educators understand these foundations and respond with new evidence informed approaches that improve learning outcomes.

Suitable for early years teams, teachers, SENCOs, therapists and senior leaders.

Autism Movement Therapy was founded by Joanne Lara - a movement educator and researcher who saw what was possible when autistic individuals were supported through structured, music-led movement.

Decades on, the method is taught around the world.

We're proud to bring it to UK practitioners through our Stage 1 Certification Training.

Movement supports far more than physical skills. It activates the neural pathways involved in attention, information processing, memory and emotional regulation.

For children who find it difficult to settle, focus or stay engaged, developmental movement offers a simple, impactful way to strengthen the foundations they need to become effective confident learners.

Our Professional Development Day at The Albany, Deptford on 25th September explores these principles and shares practical activities staff can use immediately.
