Helping the Brain Learn — So Connection and Focus Can Grow
“An introduction to how NeuroMovement® supports children on the spectrum to learn, connect, and thrive.”
Helping the Brain Learn — So Connection and Focus Can Grow
Every child and adult has untapped potential waiting to be discovered.
For those facing challenges in communication, learning, or attention — including Autism, ADHD, or other developmental differences — NeuroMovement® offers a way to unlock that potential by helping the brain learn in new and effective ways.
Understanding the Challenge
Many traditional interventions focus on trying to correct behaviour or train specific skills through repetition.
But when the nervous system is under strain — or when the brain isn’t yet ready to integrate new information — these methods can increase frustration rather than learning.
NeuroMovement® takes a different approach.
It recognises that movement, attention, and emotion are deeply interconnected, and that learning occurs best when the brain feels safe, curious, and engaged.
By helping the brain perceive subtle differences through movement and awareness, NeuroMovement® encourages flexibility and new patterns of thinking, feeling, and responding.
“Movement is the language of the brain. When we communicate through movement, we reach the whole person.”
Understanding the Challenge
How ABM® NeuroMovement® Helps
“A parent shares her experience of watching her child rediscover connection through movement.”
How NeuroMovement® Helps
NeuroMovement® works by creating conditions in which the brain can notice differences, reorganise itself, and form new neural pathways.
Lessons are gentle, playful, and exploratory — not mechanical or forced.
This allows individuals to move out of effort and repetition and into curiosity and learning.
As the brain learns to perceive new possibilities, many individuals show improvements not only in coordination and focus but also in communication, self-regulation, and confidence.
Conditions We Support
Autism Spectrum
“How NeuroMovement® supports communication and connection for those on the spectrum.”
Autism Spectrum
Children and adults on the autism spectrum often experience challenges in processing sensory information, managing transitions, or expressing themselves.
NeuroMovement® helps calm the nervous system, reduce sensory overload, and build new patterns of regulation and interaction.
By starting from comfort and curiosity rather than correction, individuals often begin to connect more deeply — to themselves, to others, and to their surroundings.
ADHD / Attention Regulation
For individuals with ADHD or attention regulation difficulties, the challenge is often not about willingness or motivation — but about how the brain processes and organises information.
Through gentle movement, variation, and awareness, NeuroMovement® helps calm hyperactivity and sharpen focus by engaging the whole brain in learning.
This allows for smoother transitions between attention and rest, greater emotional regulation, and an overall sense of balance and self-control.
ADHD / Attention Regulation
Undiagnosed Learning & Behavioural Differences
Undiagnosed Learning & Behavioural Differences
Some children and adults do not fit a clear diagnostic label but still experience learning or behavioural challenges.
They may struggle with focus, social interaction, or sensory regulation in ways that are not easily defined.
NeuroMovement® provides a non-judgmental, exploratory space that respects each person’s pace and individuality.
It helps uncover how they learn best — turning moments of frustration into opportunities for discovery and connection.
What Families and Clients Often Notice
- Improved self-regulation and emotional balance
- Greater attention and focus
- Calmer nervous system and smoother transitions
- Expanded communication and connection
- Increased curiosity, engagement, and learning
- Reduced rigidity and repetitive patterns
- Enhanced confidence and sense of well-being
What Families and Clients Often Notice
Why NeuroMovement® Feels Different
Parents often describe a profound sense of relief after seeing their child in an NeuroMovement® lesson.
Instead of trying to manage behaviours or achieve milestones through pressure, they witness their child discovering new possibilities through play, awareness, and joy.
“We focus on connection before correction. When a person feels safe and seen, learning naturally follows.”
This shift changes everything — not only for the individual but for the entire family dynamic.
Learn what we offer
We practice the ABM® NeuroMovement®, which at its core, is all about learning and upgrading the brain through the 9 Essentials.
Our 3 Offerings provide great opportunities for both children and adults, and they can be done individually or blended in together.
Learn which of our services might be best suited to start your learning process.
Why Traditional Approaches Aren’t Always Enough
Children with learning, cognitive, or behavioral challenges often experience a disruption in the brain’s natural ability to grow and learn. Diagnoses like ASD, ADHD, and developmental delays can derail this spontaneous learning process, making it harder for your child to reach their full potential.
What If There Was a Way to Awaken Your Child’s Brain to Learn?
The ABM® NeuroMovement® is a science-based, gentle, and highly effective approach that uses movement and awareness to engage your child’s brain in powerful new ways.
At the heart of this method are the 9 Essentials—key principles that create the optimal conditions for learning and development. These Essentials help your child’s brain:
- Form new neural connections
- Overcome limitations
- Improve cognitive, physical, and emotional function
- Rediscover the joy of learning
How We Work
How We Work
Every person who visits Connections in Motion begins their journey with NeuroMovement® through one or more of our three core offerings:
Hands-On Lessons, Online Coaching, and Transformational Movement Lessons.
Each approach uses the same 9 Essentials to activate learning and change in the brain — whether through gentle movement, guided awareness, or parent-led interaction.
Together, they form a flexible and holistic way to support learning and transformation for both children and adults.
