This Giving Tuesday, we are raising funds for our family home coaching program for autistic children.

NeuroMovement Lessons have repeatedly proven to improve physiological and cognitive functions in autistic children. Compulsion and anxiety decrease, and with that, behavioral problems lessen or subside. The child can express more of who they truly are. The whole family becomes happier.

Nevertheless, in some cases, we need to coach the family members in the home environment to achieve the outcomes we know are possible.

We teach a communication model built on the Nine Essentials of the Anat Baniel Method/NeuroMovement. The child‘s passive and active language skills improve, and they learn meaningful life skills, from dressing, personal hygiene, and interactive play, to navigating their neighborhood safely, and simple food preparations.

The home coaching program is 12 days/ 30 hours over 4 weeks with a highly trained CoPEC practitioner. It hones the skills to effectively and lovingly support the development of the autistic child towards independence

100% of your donation will directly and positively impact the life of an autistic child and their family.

We deeply appreciate donations in any amount. Donate through our website: www.copec.info/giving

I warmly invite you to join me for a FREE Two-Day Workshop for parents, caregivers, paraeducators and teachers on September 9-10 (10 AM- 3:30 PM with breaks) at the beautiful Orinda Community Center.

The biggest transformations happen for a child when the significant people in the child's environment begin to embody more of themselves by way of 'Awareness through Movement' and applying principles of brain plasticity in daily interactions with the child.

In this workshop, we will explore the fundamental functional movement patterns that are the building blocks for locomotion and uprightness, thinking, feeling, non-verbal, verbal, and emotional expression in human beings. In the process, your body releases tension and pain and you gain more flexibility, strength, better balance, and a sense of mental-emotional well-being. Experiencing the organization and refinement of these patterns in yourself, you will recognize their significance for your child's development.

We will also discuss principles of brain plasticity and use them in movement explorations. With this new holistic perspective, you will become more attuned to your child as well as confident, creative, and skillful in supporting and enabling them.

On Sunday after the lunch break, we will have a joint parent-child session where you have an opportunity to apply what you learned while being with your child and have my support and guidance available to you.

If you have questions, please email me at [email protected] or call 510-480-9580.

I look forward to an insightful, transformative, relaxing, and joyful weekend with you!

Love & Light
