Adults in our community need support in working with children with special needs and difficult behaviors. Project Commotion further fulfills its mission of helping children by serving as a foundation of support and information for parents, educators, and other professionals working with children, by providing training sessions, seminars, workshops, and hands-on experiences in movement. By helping adults to better understand the needs of the children in their lives and increasing the level of awareness throughout our community, Project Commotion brings about a vital change in the way that adults can support children's learning and development.
