This past Sunday in Peoria , Trey, Mike and I attended a free children’s clinic for children with special needs using the Anat Baniel Method. This method is a non-medical based approach that uses gentle touch and movement to enable the child with special needs to improve physically. It asks children to move only in ways which are within their true capabilities, creating a feeling of safety, encouraging a willingness to expand into new abilities. This clinic as well as the sessions we have already had with Mr. Mike, (a certified practitioner in the East valley and a personal friend of Mike’s sister, Cathy), we believe will help Trey develop beyond his limitations. It has been recorded that infant’s and children’s progress often surpass medical expectations. Sunday, Mike and I experienced first hand “Mrs. Michelle” help Trey with his movement, balance, grasp, spine strength and even an increased awareness of his motions (not to mention how Trey slept like a baby after his lesson). Again, what doesn’t hurt him... Mike and I have so much hope for Trey and this method. Both Mr. Mike and Mrs. Michelle have children with special needs which drew them to this work and are extremely compassionate people…thank you both for your caring ways These trained and certified practitioners of the Anat Baniel Method are offering another free clinic in the East valley this August which we have already reserved an appointment.
