I think we spend too much time feeling fractured and tattered instead of whole, and that can't be good for our kids. <br />Holly Robinson<br />www.authorhollyrobinson.comHolly Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04462441910530132918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-13190078674809346032010-04-30T22:48:10.385-04:002010-04-30T22:48:10.385-04:00going to the beach is like pressing the re-set but...going to the beach is like pressing the re-set button for the soul.

He had been screaming and refusing to participate in traditional PT. He loved, loved, LOVED Anat! (Yes, he actually worked with Anat herself, at first.) I was lucky enough to be present for a few sessions, and she was amazing with him! He became more flexible, more comfortable with movement, and we believe that the ABM contributed to his eventually scooting around on his own. Other practitioners are, naturally, not quite as gifted as Anat herself, but are usually great, and the method itself seems wonderful for many kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-333310721165080402010-04-30T15:32:10.896-04:002010-04-30T15:32:10.896-04:00No experience with ABM but instead we practice and...No experience with ABM but instead we practice and HIGHLY recommend Cuevas Medek Exercises which I have been told is a parallel PT to ABM...I recently began following a blog who does ABM; <br /><br />http://loganssuperheroes.blogspot.com/Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083710958029714414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-73401075160427248502010-04-30T13:51:01.420-04:002010-04-30T13:51:01.420-04:00We used that on Evan until we moved and there were...We used that on Evan until we moved and there were no practitioners in Kansas.

We al...Have fun, Ellen, and don't feel guilty! We all need a break now and then.<br />We used the ABM with Monkey Boy starting when he was 18 months old and ending when he was 3 1/2. We really saw great results with it. When we started, Monkey wasn't responding to PT at all. As much of a cuddle bug as he is, he would scream bloody murder when anyone tried to facilitate him during PT. His therapist suggested that it was a sensory thing, and I tend to agree. ABM uses soft, gentle movements to send messages to the brain. Very soon after Monkey began ABM, we started seeing changes - better posture, more fluidity when making physical transitions, and better attention and cooperation during PT and OT. Any time that we took a few weeks off from ABM, his progress would slow.<br />I would highly recommend ABM, but not as a substitute for traditional therapies. Rather, I think it can be a great boost and help kids get the most out of traditional PT, OT and ST.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18335163039655404397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-58469735793396438592010-04-30T08:49:06.815-04:002010-04-30T08:49:06.815-04:00I love Spongebob.
