Coaching & NeuroDevelopmental Consulting
As a neurodevelopmental consultant, Matty coaches parents and educators to create optimal conditions for children’s learning at home and at school, applying his expertise as an early childhood educator, sensorimotor practitioner, and father.
Coaching at home
For children with neurological injuries, genetic conditions, and other developmental challenges, the physical and social environment at home can be a potent resource to support learning and brain plasticity. Through individualized online video coaching you can learn to uncover hidden opportunities, turning your home and your relationship with your child into powerful and positive forces of change for your child’s development.
Consulting for schools
A classroom is a complex place, with varied social, sensory, and academic demands. When children struggle, including those with brain injuries or other developmental challenges, how can the adults respond creatively? Teachers and specialists who work with young children can move away from managing behavior towards harnessing the power of inquiry. With curiosity, playfulness and a learning focus, they can support children to more skillfully manage themselves, classroom materials, and their peer relationships. This powerful approach promotes social, emotional and cognitive development, and fosters academic success.
