Hi Andrew, We've just started feldenkreis with two of our asd kids...which is all about integration of physical/ sensory information. Are there any studies on this? Many thanks Fionna
Hi Fiona, There is currently no studies that I can find that have evaluated the Feldenkrais method with kids with ASD. That doesn’t mean that there is no evidence, just that there have been no studies. If you would like to give this a shot, perhaps just go in with your eyes open that it is currently without evidence. Also, safety of the method hasn’t been extensively evaluated, which is important to know, though I can’t foresee any major safety risks. I hope this helps! Andrew
