⦿ Over ten 5-day training segments we explore the questions and challenges commonly faced by parents and caregivers supporting the Special Needs Child.
⦿ You experience the transformative power of neural plasticity for yourself, using the framework of intentional movement. By evolving this self-awareness, and personal “differentiation” and “organization” for yourself, you are then able to model them for your loved ones.
⦿ It is through your personal exploration of Experiential Movement® that you develop the new awareness, skills, and habits that empower you to embody a fluid, spacious, and skillful relational presence — keys to empowering the child or children you care for.
⦿ You are taught in-person (there is NO Zoom-type teaching) by Master Teacher Sylvia Leiner Shordike, author of The NeuroHorizons Primer. This assures a highly individualized and potent learning experience tailored to your needs. You bring more clarity, ease, grace, and pleasure into your life and family.

“A huge awakening, and life changing for me and my Special Needs son. Far more integration, ease and freedom. As I experience my own skeleton and nervous system in new ways, how I work with my son also shifts; small, subtle, movements are really effective.
I came to this training for my son, but now I realize how much I need this for myself too, so I can grow old and still move :)”

“Exactly what I was looking for: The opportunity to learn about how I move my own body, so that I can be the best possible role model for my daughter.
I feel much better in my own skin, and there is a new sense of curiosity about options for myself, and for my child. Your embodied teaching, clarity, humor, passion, and generosity bring so much life to this learning. Thank you!”

"There are so many things I thought were not possible, or maybe only possible for others. But now I know they are possible for me. I started this training mainly for my Special Needs daughter, but then on top of that I really learned to develop myself."

“Sylvia's insistence on a small group, in-person, personalized learning environment is so healing and empowering. Her teaching style is dynamic and down-to-earth, crystal clear and encouraging for the parents who have never studied this genre of movement work. Truly impressive.”
