Anat Baniel Intensive

Ok, I have some video this time. These were taken during Aaron's ABM intensive this prior weekend. The practitioner is one of Anat's trainers. I think she has been doing this for about 20 years. It was phenomenal. She really made my baby work. He whined a little but kept up with her and didn't have a total melt down. I was so proud of him. She saw him for 6 sessions in Chicago. Two sessions on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.



Not too bad for a kid with a large chromosome deletion and infantile spasms. He made so many "inchstones" during these six sessions. Most of all, he demonstrated his ability to learn. You will notice that when she pulled his feet and slid him across the bench, he lifted up his head. The first couple of times, his head just bobbled on the bench as he was being pulled backwards. He quickly learned to hold his head up when she pulled on his feet so that his head would not hit the bench. I didn't notice this until she pointed it out. I swell up with pride thinking about all of his sessions. He also has weekly Feldenkrais visits to maintain the progress from the ABM intensives. The plan is to do the intensives every quarter and continue the weekly maintenance visits. He is doing so well right now. I just pray we can keep him healthy through the flu season.
