About the Speaker
Joye Newman earned her M.A. in Education and Human Development with a specialty in Perceptual Motor Development from The George Washington University. Integrating studies in behavioral optometry, occupational therapy, and psychology into her graduate work, she developed a unique method of movement therapy.
Joye founded and directed Kids Moving Company (KMC). She was concerned that many kids were not encouraged to move — in fact, many kids were discouraged from moving — at home and school. KMC provided a place for children to move, play, and think in a developmentally appropriate environment. After 30 years, Joye closed the studio to focus on individual evaluations and consultations with parents to help their children become more confident and competent in everything they do.
Joye is the co-author, with Carol Kranowitz of Growing an On-Sync Child, and the In-Sync Activity Cards and Book.
