AUT-EROBICS: Autism Movement Therapy
"Dance and music forces the brain to reorganize itself. Through the music and the movement, the individual is being asked to hear the music, process the sequence and the patterns, and then dance. It takes the whole brain to dance! We are literally ‘Waking up the Brain.’" Joanne Lara, Founder of Autism Movement Therapy
Autism Movement Therapy Special-needs educator Joanne Lara has the perfect heartwarming solution for working with autistic children and students - and it’s simple and fun. The answer: dance, dance, dance. Aut-erobics cleverly engages the whole brain and body with music and movement to improve motor and cognitive skills in children with autism. Whether its following simple movement sequences or moving to their own beat, children will energize mind and body all while having fun dancing.
Auterobics contains the music and the direction to create an enjoyable experience for the child, although, all the while, the child is affected far beyond the momentary joy of dancing.
