The Anat Baniel Method For Special Needs Children

The Special Needs Child - a cutting edge approach to treating developmental disorders.

Are you a parent, grandparent, or caretaker of a special needs child?
Have you tried conventional medical treatments
          and still would like to see greater improvement in your child’s functioning?
Is your child in an early intervention program?
Are you wondering whether there is more that you could be doing for him or her?
Has your child been given a bleak prognosis?
Were you told to keep your hopes down, to be realistic about what is possible for your special needs child?

The Anat Baniel Method for Children (ABM) is scientifically based and the results have been validated by medical doctors. The practitioner of this method uses gentle, innovative techniques to help the brain of the special needs child form new neural connections and patterns that take the child beyond their current limitations. While it is a process, the changes begin happening right away and are often quite dramatic. You can read about one example of these dramatic results as published in the January, 2007 issue of Massage and BodyWork Magazine, New Possibilities:A revolutionary approach to helping children with special needs.

“Anat Baniel’s work deserves to have the greatest possible audience, both in the rehabilitation medicine community and beyond. I believe that it is one of the most important approaches to physical rehabilitation, especially when conventional physical therapy is insufficient.” --Daniel Graupe, Professor of Bioengineering and Adjunct Professor of Neurology and Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Illinois, Chicago.
