June – December 2025
Dear Supporters,
As we conclude 2025, we would like to share a concise overview of our work and impact during the period June–December 2025. Your generosity and trust made it possible for children with neurological challenges to access high-quality, intensive neuroplasticity-based support.
Program Implementation and Reach
August – September 2025
Two intensive courses were delivered, totaling 90 instructional hours. Two children participated in these courses, fully supported through donations received from GlobalGiving. These intensives provided focused, individualized work and laid the foundation for measurable developmental progress.
October – December 2025
During this period, we conducted more than six intensive courses, led by six highly qualified practitioners. Over 400 lessons were delivered. Through this work, we were able to fully support two additional children, ensuring their complete participation in the intensive programs.
Overall Impact (June–December 2025)
This support contributed to meaningful improvements in mobility, functional use of the body, communication, emotional regulation, and independence.
Parent Feedback and Observed Outcomes
Parent Testimonial 1
In the beginning, our child showed increased tension and strong spasticity. After reducing other therapies and focusing solely on neuroplasticity-based lessons, we saw a clear shift after several intensive courses. Spasticity decreased, mobility increased, and new abilities began to emerge.

Parent Testimonial 2
Our child previously avoided using one side of her body and needed constant prompting. After the intensive course, she began using that side spontaneously in daily activities. Her functional organization improved, and we also observed a noticeable increase in her speech
These reflections illustrate the deeper, long-term changes that become possible when children are given the time, space, and quality input needed for brain reorganization.
Looking Ahead to 2026
In 2026, we plan to organize two specialized workshops led by internationally recognized practitioners, founders of the NeuroHorizon and ABM NeuroMovement® Training methods. All proceeds from these workshops will be donated to fund intensive courses for two additional children.
We are deeply grateful for your continued support and partnership. Together, we are creating lasting opportunities for growth, independence, and inclusion.
With sincere appreciation,
