Who We Are
Movement Based Learning is a program that offers workshops which address the foundational pieces of learning so that children of all abilities, as well as their elders, therapists and caregivers, can learn how to learn.
There is an emphasis on teaching and consulting in a functional, practical way so that any information learned is directly applicable and usable. The level of functioning of each person is improved. The techniques that are taught and learned have been shown to directly affect the ease of learning for each participant.
Brain Gym® for Special Needs Providers and Movement Based Learning for Children of All Abilities have been translated into Spanish, French, Malay, Japanese, Chinese, Slovenian, Dutch and German. They are presently being translated into Italian.
The Movement Based Learning program was founded by Cecilia Koester and her lifelong drive to help people of all abilities improve the connection between their bodies and minds. Upon her passing in October 2020, the program was gifted to Breakthroughs International to continue the legacy.
