TESTIMONIALS:

As parent and professional trainers, this online training focuses on teaching you the power of the Movement Lesson Touch so you can make a more profound impact on a child's everyday developmental optimization! 

Learn how to be the change. Rather than forcing movement in the body, learn how to create it. 

Every movement should be functional, meaning there should be an intended purpose and the ability to accomplish the intention with maximum coordination with the least amount of effort. 

We also cover the following concepts:

• Principles of Gravity and Rotation
• Functional Touch for Changes in Muscles and Movement (Initiate, Stimulate, Enhance)
• Identify and Reinforce Rotation
• Activation Through Touch
• Increase Range of Motion
• Functional Anatomy Through Movement (Head, Spine, Pelvis, Feet, Arms)
• Movement Possibilities vs. LimitationS

Many therapies work on creating movement from the outside in, BUT Movement Lesson™ works on creating movement from the inside out.

This video is a response to a question a student had while taking the course. Take the course and you will get the same guidance on learning the Movement Lesson™ Touch. Join Us Today 

The Hanging Technique and the Pizza Hand are just two of the movement exercises used to initiate, stimulate, and enhance the foundations of movement.

The foundations or movement must be initiated in a system before a child or person can experience successful milestone movements, and this can only happen with the right touch.

The Hanging Technique and the Pizza hand require the Movement Lesson™ touch or they will not work. Learn the touch, learn the techniques, and start helping a child or loved one move better today

You need strategies for success in the home and with your medical and therapeutic team. As a parent, your role in the home is to help your child develop.

You will hear over and over, "You know your child best." And the reality is you don't know your child best. That is why you are turning to medical professionals and therapists to help you figure that out. Their solution is to "wait and see," and you are told that "any progress is good progress."

So whether you are a parent and you want to know your child best, or you are a professional and you want to help parents recognize progress that leads to developmental optimization, this training, along with our foundational milestone courses, are key for helping you accomplish those purposes.

In Segment two, you will also learn:

• Advanced principles of transitional milestone achievement
• How we move within the principles of gravity and rotation
• Functional vision and movement
• Identify and reinforce early risk for developmental delays
• Learn the markers for a high-risk child for short-term and long-term concerns
• Learn Developmental Movement Patterns
• Learn the 7 essentials of working with special children
• Movement possibilities vs. Limitations
• How to be your child's advocate

TESTIMONIAL:

"I never intended to become a Movement Lesson Practitioner, but I finally realized I needed to be my child's Optimal Development Specialist. Taking these trainings and and getting my certification as a Movement Lesson Practitioner has given me a sense of accomplishment I never thought I would get having children with severe needs. Instead of sitting and twiddling my thumbs, I can do some thing to help my kids thrive and recover in the hardest of circumstances. And now instead of watching other parents suffer, I can offer them help where they don't have any."

This training helps prepare you for being a Movement Lesson Practitioner. Plenty of parents have become ML™ Practitioners and only work on their child(ren). We have parents who have decided to help give the gift of movement by offering their services to other parents in their community. We have had many professionals go through this training and supplement the knowledge they already have. 

The number one comment we get from all professionals is that what they are learning in the ML™ training and courses are the "missing pieces to child development and movement." 

After completing all the training, you will need to do your practicums.  This involves recording some videos of you working on individuals and turning them in to be reviewed. You will get feedback accordingly, and if you pass, you will get your official ML Certification for Practicing Movement Lesson. 

Key concepts taught in this training include: 

• Practicums on Advanced Principles of Gravity and Rotation
  Continued implementation and practicums on Functional Vision and Movement
• Assessing and implementing early risk for developmental delays and early decline with aging
• Learn the markers for neurological movement disorders
• Advanced balance and counterbalance responses
• Preparing for your new business.
  Movement Lesson™ practicums
  Full Movement Lesson™ demonstrations
• Advanced hands-on techniques

TESTIMONIAL:

"I do the Newborn Movement Assessment™ (NMA) on all my kids and husband frequently. For a long time, I didn't understand it, but when it finally clicked, I realized how truly amazing this tool. I recommend that every parent and professional should practice this assessment until they know it inside and out. It make's all the difference."

-Anonymous-

The NMA  the first step, to help your baby and to know how they are ready to move. Are they ready for their future? Do they need a help? Have they been through birth trauma? Was their birth without a concern? Just because a baby is cute and sweet doesn't mean they are OK.

What actually is OK? The best gift you can give your child is movement. The best thing you can do for all babies is to be certified in the Newborn Movement Assessment NMA. It's for babies 0 to 99+ years old!

In this training, you learn: 

• NMA Demonstration
• Learn about Infant Development Movement Patterns
• Demos on Infants
• Demos on Children
• Demos on Adults
• Brief Review of NMA and Vision

This is the ONLY clinic or home-based Cognitive Vision Program that directly correlates a child's movement and development to their visual abilities or the lack thereof. 

When you increase visual skills, you improve everything else in the body. Start making changes fast by optimizing visual functions. 

More than vision, we know you are here because you want to improve things like tummy time, head control, rolling over, sitting, crawling, standing, walking, speech, eating, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, etc. Again, when you give a child their milestones in the eyes, those movement potentials become available in the body.

This is a 3-day online training where you learn:

• You learn the basics of vision and Movement
• You learn about the Diamond Scale Functional Visual Assessment
• You learn about the Newborn Movement Assessment™ 
• You learn about the anatomy of the eye and its role in vision
• You learn a comprehensive method of evaluation of vision
• You learn and develop skills that give you the ability to help your child and any other child in your life
