We are delighted to offer you the opportunity to experience ABM remotely in this challenging time, to perpetuate and facilitate continuing growth and learning for your child.

This learning can take place during a video-call with the parent (or caregiver) and the child.

During the assessment of the situation, we see opportunities and possibilities to help and advise the parent in what they can do with their child. In how they can help their child learn new things in an easy way.

However, an important part of this way of learning is that the adult becomes a critical part of co-creating this process to help the child’s brain learn new things and change the old, insufficient patterns in the brain.

The adult is given the opportunity to improve his own feeling, improving his own quality of touch. This helps to shift the focus from repairing to connecting with their child to bring about change and new learning. This feeling of yourself and learning through your own experience in movement is an important part of this lesson plan.

That is why I ask for a minimum commitment of a block of three lessons of +/- 30 minutes per lesson.

If you are not familiar with the method, you can find the necessary and essential information in Anat Baniel’s book “Kids Beyond Limits”, and if possible the 5-day “Parent and Child with Special Needs workshop”.

Working with Marianne has been so insightful. She has an amazing ability to connect not just with Simone but with myself as the parent. She has helped us in many ways on how to approach challenges in Simone behaviour and communication. Since starting ‘through your hands’ (the online lessons) Simone has become increasingly independent and her ability to communicate her wants and needs in a more effect manner. To say the least this has been hugely beneficial to everyone in the family. We can’t wait to work with her again!

Annabelle

We found the lessons with Marianne extremely valuable. David and I definitely feel more connected with Annabelle as a result and it was great to get some practical ideas on how to implement the 9 essentials into family life. I found Marianne’s way of explaining her thinking during the session really helpful. We have observed a lot of change in Annabelle since doing the lessons. She is calmer and spends more time lying peacefully on her back making small exploratory movements with her body. She is babbling more and her ability to pick things up with her hands is becoming more accurate. She is able to sit whilst supported for longer and cognitively seems even more “switched on” and aware. In short the lessons were amazing!

Alex

Also, you asked for any feedback…well, Marianne is great! We’ve really warmed to her and would love to meet her in person when this is all over. I think it will be a different experience for everyone online, but for us it’s tricky, as Alex is quite mobile so there isn’t a lot we can do during the 30mins other than let Marianne observe him in action. I think she would be able to do a lot more if she could get her hands on him!! So in that sense, I wouldn’t ever choose this option over a face to face, but needs must at the moment and it is definitely serving a purpose! What we are benefiting from is Marianne’s insight and wisdom on matters where we can help Alex improve, which is hugely beneficial and for that we are incredibly grateful. We would love to work with Marianne when she is next over.
