Finding Gentle, Brain-Based Support
If your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), or cortical visual impairment (CVI), you may already be navigating a long list of therapies and medical appointments.
Many parents describe feeling both overwhelmed and hopeful. They want to give their child every opportunity to grow, yet worry about pushing too hard or missing something important.
This is where NeuroMovement® can make a difference.

Why These Diagnoses Feel OverwhelminG
Children with CP, HIE, PVL, or CVI
often face challenges such as:
Muscle tightness, stiffness, or spasticity
Difficulty with balance, coordination, and movement
Visual processing struggles that affect learning and interaction
Fatigue and frustration during daily activities
Pressure to “catch up” with peers through repetitive drills or exercises
Traditional approaches often focus on strengthening or stretching specific muscles.
The traditional approach overlooks the most powerful driver of change: the brain.
What Parents Notice
Families often report meaningful changes in their child after NeuroMovement® lessons, such as:
More relaxed and fluid movement
Increased ability to participate in play and daily activities
Improved tolerance for handling, transitions, and social situations.
Greater comfort in their body, with less effort and strain
New sparks of curiosity and engagement
These changes may seem small at first, but they open doors to larger developmental shifts over time.
Why Traditional Approaches are Limited
Many therapies and supports do provide help.
But parents often share a quiet unease when interventions focus too heavily on compliance or repetition.
The goal can feel like making a child act “normal” instead of honoring who they truly are.
Autism is not a mechanical problem to be fixed.
It is a different way of experiencing the world.
And your child’s brain is capable of remarkable growth when given the right conditions.
That is where NeuroMovement® comes in.
How NeuroMovement® Works
Social, communication, and behavioral challenges in autism are all rooted in the functioning of the brain.
Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement® upgrades the functioning of the brain by providing the conditions and the information it needs to change.
The method uses a natural body/brain process to create new learning and new brain wiring.
This new wiring helps children with autism encounter and relate to the world differently.
Some common outcomes parents notice include:
Improved sensory processing, motor skills, strength, coordination, balance, and stability
Development of interpersonal relationships, including more eye contact and connection
Improved attention and concentration, with increased focus and organization skills
Higher self-esteem through mastery of physical movement
Notes from a Mom
After NeuroMovement® lessons, one parent shared these changes she noticed in her child with autism:
Eyes lifting up for hugs or to be picked up
Looking across the room to make contact
Walking movements with feet while lying down
Saying “no” more — beginning to assert himself
Turning toward or away from things with more intention
Moving toward something of interest (including Mom)
Playing independently with a toy
Greater tolerance of everyday sounds like the dishwasher, washer, dryer, and running water
These may sound small on paper, but to a parent watching new possibilities emerge, they are deeply meaningful signs of growth.
Why Gentleness Matters
Children with neurological diagnoses are often asked to work very hard just to accomplish simple movements.
This can be exhausting for both child and parent.
NeuroMovement® takes a different path.
Lessons are gentle, respectful, and designed to reduce effort rather than increase it.
By working with the brain instead of against the body, progress is natural and sustainable.
NeuroMovement® is different.
Every lesson is about creating safety, curiosity, and possibility.
We slow down.
We explore.
We meet your child exactly where they are,
without judgment.
And from there,
growth unfolds
naturally.
