ABOUT ABL 

Impacting lives around the world


ABL partners with nonprofit, educational, and community programs to provide training on the importance of incorporating movement into daily learning experiences. Through professional development and specialized certifications,  ABL helps organizations integrate movement-based learning into school curricula to promote children’s mental, emotional, and academic development.

ABOUT US 

If we aim to create highly effective programs and educational environments to better serve our youth, we must understand the core principles of development and the science behind 'healthy, happy, academically engaged children'

We are a mission driven organization consisting of educators, researchers, medical professionals, advocates and experts in the areas of youth wellness, child development, and neuroscience. ABL training and certifications help professionals serve children more effectively in all environments. By understanding the core principles of development, specifically the link between movement and learning, we can make a profound impact on every child, in and outside of the classroom. 

01

All Age Groups

ABL supports all curriculum and content areas and it is beneficial for all age groups

02

All Settings

Our training is designed to provide the skills in a practical approach for educators, administrators, children's fitness and health professionals, and those looking to make a significant and longterm impact on the children they serve. We believe this is so impactful, our training should be required for all organizations and teams serving children! 

03

All Populations

The science of learning, growth and development is critical for all children, especially the child struggling. The child last in line, least likely to succeed, lost in the system is our highest priority. We serve the last, least, lost, and believe in the first foremost found. 

04

All Organizations

We use movement to improve learning, behavior, mood, and the overall well being of the child. We partner with organizations specializing in each of these areas -- from Fitness Centers, YMCA's, Children's Museums, PK-12 School Districts, and Universities to help train staff and set-up children's spaces (classrooms, fitness rooms, sensory labs) optimized for the whole child.
