Among various Feldenkrais-based methods to treat children, JKA (Jeremy Krauss Approach) focuses on special-needs children.
In NYC, currently, Makiko is the only JKA practitioner. She graduated in July 2022.
The Jeremy Krauss Approach (JKA) is a new and unique understanding and perspective of early movement development and learning. The primary focus is on helping develop potential and abilities – physically, mentally, and emotionally.
It supports children and adults to learn, change and overcome developmental challenges of various kinds through a process of Progressive Developmental Abilities Formation.
The various developmental challenges and disorders that the Jeremy Krauss Approach works with include: Cerebral Palsy, Spasticity due to accidents, childhood stroke, autism spectrum, genetic disorders, brachial plexus injury, scoliosis, and various undiagnosed developmental delays and difficulties, and many developmental disorders and challenges seen in children.
