How are Functional Integration Courses Made?
Dr. Feldenkrais has spent most of her time and energy working with infants and children with neurological and developmental disorders. He knew how important it was to create a rich learning environment with healthy movement patterns and developmental patterns, whether a baby or child was born with special needs or something happened after birth.
The Feldenkrais Method ® approaches development and growth from a holistic perspective. Considers people as a whole, regardless of age. The practitioner can use fun, developmental or specific movement sequences while paying attention to the learning and curiosity process. At this point, a space for personal growth opens up and it is a wonderful experience to see in every child. The practitioner may choose to work from a neurological, biological, or developmental perspective. It can also focus on the emotional and social aspects of movement and development, taking into account the whole family.

The Feldenkrais method emphasizes the importance of children being organized in a healthy way and gaining a better understanding of their body and mind. This method allows children to develop themselves by revealing their natural talents. Thus, each child has the opportunity to grow up in an environment where they can develop their own unique talents and interests. According to Feldenkrais, every child is valuable and deserves to be supported to realize their potential.
