Founded by Joanne Lara, Autism Movement Therapy® (AMT) is an established evidence based movement and music method for teaching autistic individuals.
STAGE 1: CERTIFICATION
2 DAY INTENSIVE TRAINING WORKSHOP
The initial 10 hour minimum training takes place over two days, normally a weekend. Due to the practical and interactive components, it can only be taken in person. The objective is to teach you the scientific background plus the tools and techniques used in an Autism Movement Therapy® programme. The methodology will be explained and practised. During the training participants will experience two full sessions of Autism Movement Therapy® and learn how to differentiate for the level of need of groups and individuals.
Learning Outcomes:
- Participants will gain deeper knowledge about autism, brain function, the relationship of movement and cognition and how the AMT method specifically benefits autistic individuals.
- Participants will learn how the elements and strategies combine to create an effective Autism Movement Therapy® session and the tools needed to create a multi person performative sharing based at their own facility/school.
After completing Stage 1, you will receive official Autism Movement Therapy® materials including the licensed music. We encourage you to lead AMT sessions with your children/class/group to better support them and practise delivering the method.
