We rarely think about how our movement patterns change over time, but we’re certainly aware of them as we age. Now we can share this experience with a partner and learn to communicate with physical, verbal and auditory cues.

We gratefully acknowledge that our program is now sponsored by MAPS (Maryland Association for Parkinson Support) through a grant from Johns Hopkins Pacing4Parkinsons program.

Close Contact® classes teach couples and to collaborate on movements of everyday life that will add awareness to their steps and hopefulness to their future.

As partnered couples change with age and with the considerations of their various medical conditions, they need to collaborate on movement. This workshop teaches better partnered communication and new ways to trust and touch. We’ll explore the activities of daily living and experiment with different ways of assisting one another from bed to chair, chair to floor and down the street, making movement and collaboration easier and safer for both of you.
