"What is the Anat Baniel Method?" "How does it work?" "Does it make a difference with children with special needs?" These are among the most common questions we hear. To begin to answer some of these we've compiled stories from the March 2013 Free Children's Clinic of parents and children discussing their experience.

Time lapse of San Francisco's 1st Free Children's Clinic in March 2013. 4 practitioners gathered together to give lessons to children with special needs. 15 families with children with disability came from around California.

Do you know anyone with Special Needs in Argentina? Robin Zander will be teaching a 1-Day workshop in Buenos Aires. Contact [email protected] for more information!

Attitude That Doesn’t Word,Try this exercise: go for a walk somewhere where you will meet lots of people. Find a populated park or city street. Walk for 10 minutes and greet the people you meet with a hello or nod. At the very least do look at every single person you pass. With everyone you see pick something specific about them to judge as bad. It could be their dress, their posture, their skin. Maybe it is the company the person is keeping or a story you make up about the person’s home life. Anything you those to focus on, so long as you judge it as bad. Actually do this exercise and I guarantee you will find that at the end of the 10-minute walk you will be more tired than when you started. It is exhausting and taxing to judge all the time!
