Developed by Joanne Lara, M.A., Autism Movement Therapy combines a structured program of movement and music, connecting the left and right hemispheres of the brain for a "whole brain" cognitive re-mapping approach that significantly increases concentration, focus, speech and language and social interactions. AMT is proving to be one of the most effective ways of stimulating communication between t
he left and right hemispheres of the brain by actually bridging the two hemispheres of the brain(interhemispheric integration) to increase overall cognitive processing. And its FUN! For more information go to www.autismmovementtherapy.org
Once I get more enrollment and classes increase in size, then I will be able to break up the class age groups to the following; 3,4,5 year olds, 6-8 year olds, 9& up. AMT is for children ages 3 & up(child, teens & adults). Ideal class sizes should be anywhere between 8-10 students. Three questions that I ask to assess each child before taking AMT is;
1. Can they handle a group setting(music, room, other kids & adults, etc)
2. What is their placement in school?
3. Any aggressive behaviors, like verbal, physical, etc. Safety and wellness of all children is most important. Inclusive Model
