Our Program
Our program utilizes functional movement as the tool to address not only gross and fine motor skills but the needs of the whole child.
For children with cerebral palsy, learning is often challenged due to motor concerns. The One Little Step program creates an environment that utilizes the principles of the Feldenkrais Method® that would primarily address those motor concerns so that learning is greatly facilitated.
One Little Step provides a positive, nourishing environment, and a program that recognizes the importance of "play" and sensory integration while motivating the students to be as independent as possible. Each child will have very specific movement program to help to take them to the next level toward more independence. One of the unique and wonderful things about the Feldenkrais Method is that it uses movement as a tool to inform the whole person. Because this method works with the brain's innate ability to learn, children also improve cognitively.
Satisfaction in learning, ‘learning how to learn’ is a vital factor in solving problems arising from motor disorders. By experiencing success in movement they discover that they can find their own solutions to many problems of daily living. As a consequence, they not only develop greater body control, but also become more active and self-assured.
We invite you to come and investigate this wonderful inclusive program!
