Course Description

What is getting in the way of being healthy and happy?

What is keeping many of us from reaching our fullest potential?

Discover effective tools for freeing the energy necessary to learn, engage and enjoy life.

This 16-hour course teaches the Foundations and Applications of HANDLE through the lens of an array of life and learning challenges, affecting young children to elderly. Follow founder Judith Bluestone’s process to develop theories on Attention and Autism and begin to see behaviors as communication with new “HANDLE eyes”.

Students will learn unique HANDLE activities and will explore how the activities can be applied and adapted to support individuals with a wide range of ages, sensitivities, and challenges. No one is too old for HANDLE.
