MBL Movement Based Learning (65029)

You may learn Movement Based Learning (MBL)

Movement Based Learning is a way for us to begin to understand and apply the concept that movement of the body affects the integration of our brain function. When our brain is in an integrated state (i.e. able to access all parts of the brain, we return to our natural, normal curious state of learning. It is from this solid foundational space that we can reach our greatest potential.

Background of Movement Based Learning™

Cecilia Koester, M.Ed, has developed a movement-based program that addresses the foundational pieces of learning so that children and adults who are differently abled can learn how to learn. She teaches/consults in a functional, practical way so that any information is directly applicable and useable. Brain Gym® for Special Needs Providers offers excellent applications for a variety of mental and physical challenges including:
  • autism,
  • cerebral palsy,
  • attention deficit disorders (ADD and ADHD),
  • dyslexia,
  • Angelman’s Syndrome,
  • Down Syndrome,
  • speech impairments,
  • brain injuries,
  • blindness,
  • deafness and
  • impairments caused by strokes.
Participants taking either of her courses will leave with new skills that optimize learning and performance in all areas of life. And they will find that these tools are immediately applicable in home, school and therapeutic settings. In addition to teaching the above courses, Cecilia Koester is mentoring others to teach Brain Gym® for Special Needs Providers and Movement Based Learning: Using and Teaching Developmental Movement Patterns. To ensure consistency and quality control, follow this link to the teaching curricula that have been established.
