For professionals
For case managers, solicitors and deputies.
We work with professionals supporting children and adults with cerebral palsy, brain injury and other neurological conditions. Here is what you need to know to consider NeuroMovement for a client.
What NeuroMovement is
Grounded in neuroplasticity
ABM NeuroMovement is a body of knowledge and professional practice grounded in neuroplasticity: the brain's lifelong capacity to learn, adapt and create new possibilities through experience.
Using the 9 Essentials, NeuroMovement works with movement, attention, variation and awareness. It creates the conditions for a person to notice differences, explore, problem solve and discover new possibilities, not only in movement but in thinking, communication, self awareness and everyday function.
NeuroMovement supports
- Learning and development
- Movement and coordination
- Thinking and problem solving
- Communication and self awareness
- Health and wellbeing
- Greater ease and function
- New possibilities at any age
Where we usually come in
Most families find us later than they would have liked: once progress has plateaued, and they have started looking beyond what the usual medical pathway can offer. We work alongside a client's wider team, and anything their medical team has prescribed should continue.
Who it suits
- Children and adults with cerebral palsy, across all presentations
- Acquired and traumatic brain injury, and HIE
- Stroke
- Genetic and structural conditions, and other neurological conditions
How it is delivered
- Intensives of 6 to 10 one to one lessons of up to 45 minutes, over three to five days
- Visiting international practitioners and trainers from the US and Europe, at our Roehampton centre
- Regular lessons with our UK practitioners, at their practice or, depending on location, at home
Working with us
We understand complex needs
Our founder, Simon, has a daughter with complex needs, so we know first hand what families and their teams are managing. We currently work with several children whose lessons are funded by their deputies.
Clear costs
Intensives with our visiting international practitioners start from £810 for 6 lessons, and £1,450 for 10. Lessons with Neil Sharp are £175. Regular lessons with our UK practitioners are priced by practitioner and location. We can quote for a block of intensives in advance.
Invoicing and reporting
Invoices addressed to the deputy or funder, as your process needs. Tell us what reporting you require and we will work with you on it.
Practitioner credentials
Every practitioner completes the ABM NeuroMovement professional training, a year and a half of study certified by Anat Baniel International, and many go on to one or more of the three Mastery programmes: working with children, high performance, and vitality and anti aging. Many also bring years of experience in other movement and therapy disciplines, for example physical therapy, osteopathy, craniosacral therapy, Rolfing and Feldenkrais, among many others.
Safeguarding and data
Parents or carers are usually in the room for lessons with children. Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal and health information.

How a referral works
Get in touch
Call or email Simon with a brief outline of your client's needs and goals. We will tell you honestly whether we think we can help.
Information and a quote
We take a short history, agree consent with the family or deputy, and send a quote for an intensive or a block of lessons.
Lessons and review
Your client starts with an intensive. Afterwards we talk through what the practitioner observed and agree the next step with you.
