Jeremy Krauss, one of the last students of Mosché Feldenkrais, has been practicing the Feldenkrais Method for over 40 years and has developed the Jeremy Krauss Approach (JKA) during the past 15 years in his work with children with special needs. This interprofessional approach can provide skill-based support for children with a variety of developmental delays. Krauss looks back on treatment successes with atypically developed individuals whose difficulties are located in the neurological, psychological, or socioemotional domain. Using numerous case studies, Krauss reflects on his experiences, which are connectable to topics such as motor learning, neuroplasticity and developmental psychology. Didactically, JKA is based on close observation of movement sequences and individual movement patterns. The focus is on variations in the dynamic transition from one position to another and the associated individual developmental steps.
