Daniel is a 2-year-old boy with Cerebral Palsy who came to the Spiral Movement Center in November 2021. Daniel is non-verbal and has difficulty moving his head and limbs. His movement limitations have caused him deep frustration and the challenge for his parents, Olivia and Andres, was to find a way to awaken his body. This film documents Daniel’s two-week intensive through Adapted Spiral Praxis and how, with a focus on his inner experience, Daniel began to beautifully harness his body’s own natural flow and find ways to explore and embrace movement. It is an intimate, heartfelt documentary which clearly shows how the motor learning process can be activated in children with disabilities if they are given the chance to become more aware of the perceptions and possibilities within their own bodies.

Adapted Spiral Praxis is a somatic-based interventions for children with special needs and disabilities. It focuses on flow learning — highly experiential and individual-tailored motor activities — to reach children who have otherwise been unable to learn through traditional interventions. Yuji Oka, founder of ASP, has presented his work at several international conferences to spread the message of flow-based disability intervention.
