We are a non-profit organization with a mission to transform the lives of exceptional children, their families, teachers and caretakers through NeuroMovement® lessons, education and support.

About us

We offer services to families and schools in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond through sponsoring NeuroMovement lessons for children, coaching & workshops for parents, caregivers, and teachers.

Happy children run and jump making leaps and big steps represent overcoming of limits and opening up possibilities

We see your child as a whole person, not as a diagnosis.

NeuroMovement Lessons

Instead of trying to fix a condition and repeating actions the child can't do, we focus on what they can do.

Parent Coaching

Engaging a child this way transforms your child's limitations into new possibilities.

Anat Baniel method practitioner Simone Peters gives sponsored NeuroMovement lesson to a child with special needs in Oakland

"I found ABM and brought A to Gabrielle, who later connected me to CoPEC. After just a few lessons, I already noticed significant improvements. He had better balance and moved around on his own much more. He appeared to be confident to stand up and cruise along furniture, eventually taking a few steps without support. Soon after, he also began to speak more words and sentences and A. continues to become more articulate. I am very grateful for Gabrielle and the whole CoPEC team. You gave us hope and inspiration. Thank you."
