- So AAMP, I mean, tell me, so like, you have a place, and people are bringing in their kids?

- Yeah.

- Just tell me the whole overview of it.

- Yeah, so we have a studio, so the AAMP Studio.

So I have clients that do one-on-one sessions, and we have clients that come and do group.

So I have families coming from all over.

So our surrounding communities, Taylorville, Nokomis, they're about 15 minutes away.

Then I have Springfield, Hillsboro, which is over an hour away, and then Oblong is my farthest, she's an hour 45 from us.

So when they come in, we do different sessions.

So one-on-ones look different than group.

One-on-ones kind of are more specialized to what they may need.

So it may be more sensory integration and then working on that task duration.

So when I go to IEP meetings, I also try to hit their goals.

So if they're working on something specific, I wanna make sure that I'm tag teaming it, 'cause that's the only way that kid's gonna be successful is making sure that everybody's doing the same thing.

- So if I have a kid with autism and I don't have the ability to like go to AAMP, right, I don't live in an area or whatever, I mean, what am I gonna be doing?

What are my options?

- So, you know, unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of other places that teach Autism Movement Therapy locally, like close around us in Central Illinois.

- See, that's what the question was for.

You're you're kind it.

- There's other therapies.

Like, I never say I'm one and done.

So I'll tell families, suggest horse therapy.

So there's horse therapy, equine therapy, music therapy.

So there's other ways to kind of look at that.

But there's also OTs that work on primitive reflexes, which is what the core of Autism Movement Therapy is.

So we work on those reflexes to help get the nervous system to calm down.
