Part I: In our 68th ASO newsletter, we release the first part of our conversation with Alexander teacher, Julie Barber who talks about the extensive work she has done within the profession to bring about a greater understanding of how we can safely and effectively teach people living with the challenges of hypermobility. This is the first of a two-part interview-based post.

In this 4th edition of the ASO newsletter, we have another piece written specifically for the ASO Community, this time by Glenna Batson ScD, PT, MA, mAmSAT, ISATT. In the post below, Glenna shares her experiences of working with people living with Parkinson’s disease, taking us through her initial trepidation and how she found her way. She offers tips for teachers working with people living with Parkinson’s that arose from applying her knowledge and experience from her own research background and from working with people with various neurological challenges.
