Success vs. Failure: Why the approach matters

When we challenge an individual to attempt movement (whether physical, cognitive, or emotional) far beyond their abilities, we are creating an experience of failure. Repeated failure results in stifling their desire to move, learn, and evolve. Each failed attempt grooves in further that pattern of failure, making it more difficult to find success. What if in the teaching process we are always looking for where that person is currently successful and working around the edges of that? Slowly creating incremental challenges while feeding the system new relevant information increases the likelihood of self-generated success. When we feel successful, we are more likely to attempt new challenges that will upgrade the system and improve overall function, creating a system that is constantly upgrading and doing better. That is where the Anat Baniel Method and the nine essentials live!

"MOVEMENT IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE BRAIN"

-ANAT BANIEL

“Whatever the circumstances of a child’s early life and whatever the history and current state of that child, every human has the built-in power to improve to change for the better, to significantly restore and often to recover." -Michael Merzenich, Phd (Father of Brain Plasticity)

All About The Anat Baniel Method®?

What is the Anat Baniel Method® and how can it help?

The Anat Baniel Method® is a cutting-edge, science-based approach that takes advantage of the brain's ability to change and do better. Unlike other methods that focus only on limitations or forcing developmental milestones, ABM-Neuromovement® meets the individual where they are currently at and includes their experience in the learning. It is a movement-based modality that creates the ideal setting for the brain to get better at doing its job and in turn to allow the individual to become a powerful learner who is more able to generate their own solutions to current limitations.

Who can benefit?

Neuromovement® is appropriate for anyone currently experiencing limitations or looking for improvement in their day to day life. It can include, but is not limited to, individuals with developmental delays, neurodivergence/autism spectrum, ADD/ADHD, genetic disorders, cerebral palsy, torticollis, or brachial plexus injury. Anyone facing challenges due to brain injury, stroke, repetitive strain injury, or chronic pain can gain improved function and a greater sense of well being.

“The approach here, far wiser, far more subtle, truly holistic, far more ingenious, far more in accord with how brain development occurs, shows ways to access the child’s OWN brain plasticity, and yields far greater results, so that the children can spontaneously grow from within.” -Norman Doidge, MD
