JKA basic information and ideas

  • The JKA is a unique way to learn, grow and develop for children and adults.
  • The primary focus is helping develop potential and abilities – physically, mentally and emotionally.
  • JKA is solidly founded on the science of Neuroplasticity – the brain’s ability to change and reorganize itself by forming new neural connections and developmental pathways no matter what the condition is.
  • The central focus is on a therapeutic experiential learning process for helping children and adults develop and increase their abilities.
  • It is a neurophysiological therapeutic method that helps with the continuing growth and development of the neuro-muscular-skeletal system.
  • It supports children and adults to learn, change and overcome a spectrum of functional and developmental challenges of various kinds.
  • The goal is that any child or adult can make better use of their potential – physically, mentally and emotionally.
  • JKA is a non-invasive movement based Approach which respects every child and adult as an intelligent human being.
  • It is 100% personalized, not trying to fit a person into a frame, but on the contrary, developing a frame that fits each person.
