Program Philsophy

The philosophy of Project Commotion is based on the belief that every person is an individual with unique experiences and perspectives, and a unique nervous system and body that affects how one functions in the world. Project Commotion's method is to meet children where they are, particularly based on their physical capabilities, sensory awareness, and brain development, and bridge them to the next step in their developmental process.

Adult Education and Training
Adults in our community need support in working with children, especially those with special needs and difficult behaviors. Project Commotion further fulfills its mission by providing resources for parents, educators, and other professionals working with children. Our training sessions, seminars, workshops, and hands-on experiences in movement facilitate a better understanding of how adults can support children's learning and development.
