How Movement with ABL Transformed Liam’s Learning
As Liam’s teacher, I had watched him struggle for months. Sitting still for even a few minutes was overwhelming, and traditional classroom approaches left him frustrated and withdrawn. When our school introduced Action Based Learning’s pediatric therapy tools, I wasn’t sure what to expect—but the change in Liam was remarkable. In therapy sessions, he was encouraged to move, balance, and climb while working through learning activities, and suddenly his energy became a strength rather than a distraction. Within weeks, I noticed he was more focused in class, raising his hand to participate, and even helping classmates with tasks that once left him discouraged. Most importantly, Liam began to smile more—he looked forward to therapy and proudly told me about his “brain breaks” that made learning fun. Seeing him thrive reminded me why movement matters, and how ABL gives every child the chance to succeed in their own way.
