By 1997 I had spent five years struggling with my daughter who was here, but not here. Often delightful, always unknowable, I believed if I could just find the right key it would unlock the bright and curious little girl I knew was trapped inside. None of the terms used to describe her; sensory integration disorder, autism spectrum, alpha child, pre-dyslexic meant anything to me at the time except “different.”
I was told she would never change; but I obsessed, read, took classes, and studied, trying to learn something that would make everything better or at least okay. At first there was little to link the pieces together, but as I continued to explore the relationships between mind, body, music, movement and learning, bits of the puzzle started to fit.
I combined everything into a kind of dance that Rowan and I did together for a few minutes, every morning and every night. This primitive version of MeMoves™ changed her life. One month later my daughter who couldn’t remember a single letter for more than a day was reading sentences, then chapter books; making eye contact, asking to be held.
MeMoves™ is simple. It cuts across technology and taps into our primitive and intuitive need to listen, move, and connect. Most of all, MeMoves™ helps children of all ages calm their minds as it removes the stresses that hinder development. We are excited about MeMoves™ and hope your family loves it.
