Empower Potential. Transform Lives.

I feel incredibly privileged that my clinic will have the opportunity to host visiting ABM NeuroMovement Practitioner Juan Carlos Co**ha this June in Mullingar.

The Anat Baniel Method® (ABM NeuroMovement®) is a gentle, neuroscience-based approach that uses movement and touch to support the brain’s capacity for growth, learning, organisation, and change through neuroplasticity.

This work may be particularly relevant for children and adults presenting with:
• Autism Spectrum Disorder
• ADHD/ADD
• Cerebral Palsy
• Developmental delays and coordination difficulties
• Neurological conditions
• Learning and sensory challenges
• Recovery following injury or surgery
• Chronic pain and movement difficulties

Juan Carlos brings a wealth of experience and a deeply respectful, compassionate approach to his work. It is a wonderful opportunity for families in Ireland to access this specialised intervention locally.

Movement truly is the answer.

If you are working with children who struggle with focus, regulation, behaviour, or engagement, the Sensory Smart Workshop will give you practical tools you can use immediately.
This is not theory-heavy training. It is hands-on, practical, and grounded in real classroom and clinical experience. You will learn how to recognise sensory needs quickly and respond with simple, effective strategies that support attention, emotional regulation, and learning readiness.
You will come away with:

Clear understanding of sensory processing and how it impacts behaviour and learning

Practical, easy-to-implement strategies for the classroom or home

Structured movement breaks using alerting, organising, and calming activities

Confidence in supporting children who are dysregulated, overwhelmed, or under-responsive

Whether you are a teacher, SNA, therapist, or parent, this workshop will help you shift from reacting to behaviours to understanding and supporting the underlying sensory needs.
Small changes, applied consistently, can make a significant difference to a child’s ability to learn, cope, and thrive.
