THE FRIDA METHOD® INSTITUTE FOR NEURODEVELOPMENT
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
Helping children, teens and adults move forward by addressing foundational neurological and somatic patterns.
What Are Developmental Disabilities?
Developmental disabilities are a group of chronic conditions that originate during the developmental period, typically before age 22. They can impact various aspects of an individual’s life, including physical, learning, language, and behavioral functioning. These disabilities may cause a range of challenges, but they don’t necessarily affect every aspect of a person’s life.
Common Impacts You Might See
- Delayed achievement of developmental milestones (movement, language, coordination)
- Learning or cognitive processing issues
- Behavioral or emotional regulation challenges
- Physical or motor-skill difficulties
These conditions can affect one or more areas of a person’s life. Early intervention and targeted support make a significant difference.
Our Approach to Developmental Disabilities
At The Frida Method®, we focus on harmonizing the body and the brain, aiming to address all foundational developmental milestones necessary for growth. Each developmental diagnosis manifests uniquely in the interplay between body and brain. A key element of our approach is the emphasis on advancing developmental patterns, which has shown to significantly impact overall development.
- Manual therapy & guided movement to support developmental milestones
- Reflex integration and sensory-motor work to support the brain-body connection
- Personalized coaching focused on foundational patterns and growth trajectories
- Ongoing evaluation and adjustment to align with each individual’s unique development
What to Expect
- Initial Consultation & Assessment: review developmental history, neuro-motor/reflex baseline
- Program Design & Planning: tailored to age, developmental profile and goals
- Therapy Sessions: movement/manual/reflex integration, sensory-motor tasks
- Home & Family Engagement: carry-over activities, coaching support for the environment
- Progress Review & Next Phase Planning: transition to maintenance or new goals
What Success Looks Like
Because every individual is unique, outcomes vary. Many clients report improved coordination, enhanced learning capacity, better emotional regulation, and more functional involvement in daily life.
