The Brain Moves Course: Supporting Preschool and Kindergarten Neurodiversity Through Movement
The BrainMoves Course: Supporting Preschool and Kindergarten Neurodiversity Through Movement
For young children, movement is not just play—it’s a key to learning, growing, and feeling good inside their bodies. The BrainMoves Course, created by psychotherapist and movement learning expert, Diane Malik, is a gentle, playful online program for adults that demonstrates mindful movements to increase body awareness to children in preschool and kindergarten. Designed with neurodiversity in mind, this course helps all children—including those with autism, ADHD, and sensory differences—develop confidence, coordination, and calm.
Why Movement Matters for Young Children
Preschoolers and kindergarteners are in a vital stage of development. Their brains and bodies are learning how to work together, which is why movement activities are so important. Through movement, children build neural pathways in their brains that build balance, coordination, and the ability to focus and learn. For neurodivergent children—those with different ways of thinking and processing, like autism or ADHD—movement can also be a powerful daily tool for self-regulation and emotional expression.
What Is The BrainMoves Course?
The BrainMoves Course brings mindful movement to the world of early childhood. Diane Malik draws on years of experience to create lessons that are:
Educational movement and brain development
Short and easy to follow for busy teachers, other professionals and parents
Interactive
Methods to measure improvements
Each online video lesson teaches you- the parent or teacher how to guide young children through simple, sensory-friendly movements. These might include gentle rocking, stretching, rolling on the floor, animal walks, or fun breathing games. The goal isn’t to do the movements "perfectly"—it’s to enjoy exploring how their bodies move and feel.
Caregivers can join in, creating a safe, supportive space at home. The course provides measuring activities that help you see progress, but the activities are based on meeting your child where they are at the moment, so every child can participate comfortably.
