MOVE INTEGRATE, ANAT BANIEL METHOD CALGARY TESTIMONIALS

I just wanted to share our ABM experiences with you. My son is 9 years old and has ADHD and ASD. Although he is high functioning he struggles greatly socially and with managing frustration. Last year he was depressed due to the fact he had no friends in school. He would not recognized normal child invitations of play and was completely inflexible to the normal change of play that evolves. He would not and play at recess. Instead he avoided.  As a mother it was heartbreaking. He finds life scarey and unpredictable and shuts himself away and yet he wants friends desperately.
Quite by accident I discovered ABM and decided to give it a chance.  I had read that it could help but was extremely sceptical. After our first lesson I was even more sceptical. I remember thinking that there is no way these small movements are going to do anything. Especially cause my son couldn't stay still.

He squirmed and was extremely goofy and non co-operative.  I took him to school afterwards. When I picked him up at the end of the day he was all smiles. He had a 5/5 star day! I couldn’t remember the last time that had happened. But i was sceptical and put it off as coincidental.  We had ABM every morning that week. Every day i picked him up with a big smile. Reports of him being more social, playing at recess and generally being able to regulate himself better. He continued to prove even after the week of ABM was done. He has had a record of 20  5/5 star days in a row.
At parent teacher interview the teachers were excited to tell me of his accomplishments and could not believe it was the same child. He was even invited to a Halloween party where I witnessed him joining a crowd of children in play where when the other kids ran off he followed the crowd. I had never seen this before and had long given up hope. 

Ashley finished her first ABM (Anat Baniel Method) Intensive today thanks to Renée Gray. Over the past few days we witnessed Ashley discovering how to roll to her side, hold her head up in a baby cobra position and hold... 

 Kaiden had a stroke when he was 2 days old and we knew from the beginning that he would have some form of Cerebral Palsy. As soon as we got Kaiden home from hospital we knew that we needed to be proactive and get him into therapy. 

 We found out Alex had an in-utero stroke when I was 33 weeks pregnant. A few weeks after the shocking news I was told that hydrocephalus started and the prognosis of the doctors were grim.

  We recently had the pleasure of taking our 9 month old daughter Robyn to see Renée. Robyn has a genetic condition that affects her motor skills and development.  

 Ezra has a lot of fear when it comes to new therapies or doctors from his recent journey post meningitis. Upon meeting Renée she knew she needed to work on Ezra's trust for the therapy to be effective.
