Pedro
father of 6 year old Tomas who was diagnosed with ASD
I wanted to explore all options to help my son, Tomas develop. He can do most “normal” activities but some not well. Running, jumping he showed obvious limitations.
We had/have to be realistic with expectations and adjust accordingly in our family life. I chose to work with Judy based on positive reviews and her being a licensed therapist.
During Tomas’ Introductory sessions, both myself and my wife became more aware of his desire to learn and grow, himself included I believe. He DOES want to do more. We just have to learn how to guide and encourage him along.
The energy around the sessions surprised me. I had envisioned a slow approach to things. At times yes it was those things but the energy was anything but that. We (Tomas included I believe) felt a very positive energy.
I would say to another parent who is considering the Anat Baniel Method for their child’s development to not hesitate. It is a “natural, substance-free approach” to helping our children learn and grow.
Judy has helped us as parents to become aware of things that we can explore with Tomas in regard to movement. I have read Anat’s book and thought I understood the principles.
But watching Judy and our son put it all together for us, the light bulb came on! Thank you!!!
