The Wired for Movement Story

Hi, Welcome to my story

I am incredibly proud to share Wired for Movement with you. My aim is to help all children, in a fun way, reach their full potential.

Hi, I’m Monty, and I created the Wired for Movement program to help children move better, feel better, and develop to their fullest potential.

I know what it’s like to struggle. As a child, I was deeply dyslexic and spent a lot of time in what was then called ‘remedial classes’. Luckily for me, I was able to find a way forward and as a mature student, I went to university, became a primary school teacher, and specialised in physical education with a focus on neurodevelopment and special educational needs.

Teaching & Family Experience

In my teaching practice, I quickly realised how little specialist support and affordable resources there was to help children with SEN. This sparked a desire to learn more about these problems, and what could be done to help.

When I had my own young family, I left teaching to become a firefighter, because the flexible shifts work allowed me to be an active dad, support the family, but also continue learning.

I trained in and studied from many therapeutic approaches, including heart rate variability biofeedback, sensory integration, infant reflex integration, kinesiology, emotional intelligence, breath and body work, as well as exercise and sports. Working with award-winning author, biologist and educator, Dr. Carla Hannaford, we developed our sister product, Wired for Learning.

The evolution of Wired for Movement

The first version of the Wired for Movement programme was called ActEi, and was published and distributed internationally as 9 books, by the educational training organisation Val Sabin publications, aimed at schools.

Working in schools and one to one with children using these approaches confirmed the positive impact the work could have on learning and wellbeing. However I wanted to create something that parents and teachers could access and use straight away, without barriers, and this has been the driver for the fully digital Wired for Movement. I am so thrilled to share this wonderful resource with you all.
