NeuroMovement® for Kids with Sensory Processing Disorder
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a neurological condition that affects how the brain and nervous system interprets sensory information.
Whether the sense impacted in your child’s disorder is hearing, sight, smell, taste, or touch, the challenge lies not in the sense itself but in how the brain processes the input.
SPD often coexists with other conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Apraxia, and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).
If your child experiences sensory sensitivities, difficulty with coordination, balance issues, or challenges in responding appropriately to stimuli, you’re not alone.
The good news? The human brain has an incredible ability to learn, adapt and change.
The Brain’s capacity to Change and Grow through life
From birth, our brains have the capability to develop new neural connections.
Even in cases where neural pathways may not have formed optimally, the brain retains the capacity to reorganize and create alternative pathways for brain connections.
This capacity of the human brain means that children with SPD can learn new ways to process sensory input more effectively.
What sort of sensory Processing can be helped with NeuroMovement?
Brilliant Movement lessons can help Children with Sensory Processing Disorder who:
Are over- or under-sensitive to sensory stimuli
Crave excessive stimulation
Struggle with balance or coordination
Misinterpret sensory input (e.g., using too much force, turning the wrong way)
How NeuroMovement® Helps kids with Sensory Processing Disorder
At Brilliant Movement, Phoebe uses the Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement® to help children experiencing SPD develop stronger, more effective neural connections.
Through gentle, respectful movement that provides rich, varied, and safe experiences, children learn new ways of moving and perceiving.
These new ways of moving and perceiving help to rewire their brains for more functional and comfortable interactions with the world around them.
By engaging the brain in a process of learning and exploration, NeuroMovement® helps kids refine their sensory processing abilities.
When the brain creates new, more efficient pathways, improvements often extend to multiple areas, including:
Enhanced mood – Reduced frustration and anxiety
Stronger interpersonal relationships – Improved social interactions
Better sensory processing – More appropriate and comfortable responses to stimuli
Increased physical ease – Greater coordination and balance
Why Early Intervention Matters
The earlier children begin NeuroMovement®, the more profound and lasting the benefits can be.
Since the brain of a child is highly adaptable, starting movement lessons at a young age allows children to build stronger neural connections before ineffective or inefficient patterns become deeply ingrained.
However, it’s never too late—children of all ages can benefit from these gentle, brain-based exercises.
Remember- How intervention is conducted shows up in the outcomes
NeuroMovement® is a non-invasive, stress-free approach.
Unlike traditional therapies that may involve repetitive drills, NeuroMovement® engages a child’s curiosity and natural learning abilities, making sessions enjoyable and effective.
When a child learns while experiencing stress or discomfort, the child also LEARNS the STRESS and DISCOMFORT along with the skills the interventionist is hoping they learn.
When the intervention is gentle, respectful and enjoyable the brain lights up to grasp the new information and begins to integrate it quickly.
The power of music on the brain
At first glance it might seem that music would mostly impact the brain through the sense of hearing.
But music is much more than hearing. It impacts every area of the brain.
At Brilliant Movement, Phoebe loves to use her ABM® NeuroMovement® skills TOGETHER WITH her deep understanding and skills in MUSIC to impact the brain connections of her clients with sensory processing disorder.
Using music in her sessions impacts language development, emotional skills, internal timing, expression and sense of rhythm.
