All kids come with a need for movement. Some kids require less movement while others require more - a lot more!

The inability to get the level of movement needed is often related to a child's ability to focus and attend in school. The good news is that there are tools and strategies available to students, that can be used in school, to give them access to the movement they require well also improving their ability to focus and attend on the learning more successfully!

Listen in as Evie and I discuss what those tools are and who they might work for.
