Who We Are

Movement Based Learning, Inc. is a corporation based in the USA that offers workshops as well as teaches others how to teach these techniques. The workshops address the foundation pieces of learning so that children of all abilities, as well as their elders, therapists and caregivers, can learn how to learn.

Cecilia Koester, MEd, the founder of these workshops, teaches and consults in a functional, practical way so that any information learned is directly applicable and useable. The level of functioning of each person is improved. The techniques that are taught and learned have been shown to directly affect the ease of learning for each participant. The way Cecilia teaches is magical. And it is this magic that she teaches you if she becomes your mentor. Cecilia is an author. Let her be your teacher. Let her be your mentor.

Brain Gym® for Special Needs Providers and Movement Based Learning for Children of All Abilities have been translated into Spanish, French, Malay, Japanese, Chinese, Slovenian, Dutch and German. They are presently being translated into Italian.

“Cece goes first to the child’s heart where all learning begins.”

Testimonials

“Cece is kind, well-qualified and demonstrated the value of her message, i.e. as we are more grounded and centered in ourselves we are then able to reach out to others and participate and assist in their learning. I’ve learned many new skills/strategies and developed confidence in my own instincts. This class is very versatile for all my ages/abilities—-even for self-improvement—-everyone can benefit."

“After taking this course, my eyes are open wider and I can assist the children and explore their potential/ possibilities so they can reach their greatest reality. This course gently invites you to enhance learning and function within the classroom by using natural body movements. This course was Cece’s book, I Am the Child coming alive…and so much more. I am so eager to absorb all the new material from her new book, Movement Based Learning for Children of All Abilities”
