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.
Carol Stock Kranowitz, a teacher for 25 years, introduced Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) to parents and educators around the world. The Out-of-Sync Child is the first book in the “Sync” series. Her most recent publications are the Spanish translation, El Niño Desincronizado (2020), and a new sequel, The Out-of-Sync Child Grows Up: Coping with SPD in the Adolescent and Young Adult Years. Carol earned her M.A. in Education and Human Development, focusing on special education, from The George Washington University. Learn more here: www.out-of-sync-child.com
Combining Carol’s expertise in sensory processing and Joye’s in perceptual motor and visual development, the In-Sync program was born.
