All Kinds Move

Personalized fitness training and movement coaching for neurodiverse athletes, their families, and all in the community.

Get to know Derek

I’m a former Special Education teacher and an Autism Fitness Certified Pro specializing in strength training and intentional movement coaching — a structured approach that helps individuals develop the ability to plan, organize, and execute movement with greater independence and confidence.

My work goes beyond traditional fitness. Many of the athletes I support experience challenges with motor planning, coordination, sequencing, and body awareness — skills that are essential for both daily life and meaningful participation in social and community settings.

I design coaching sessions that directly support:

Motor Planning (Praxis) — helping athletes think through and carry out movements intentionally
Sequencing & Multi-Step Actions — breaking down complex movements into achievable steps and building them back into fluid motion
Body Awareness & Spatial Control — improving understanding of where the body is in space
Timing, Rhythm & Coordination — developing smoother, more connected movement patterns
Movement Initiation & Follow-Through — supporting athletes who may feel “stuck” getting started or completing actions
Regulation Through Movement — using physical activity to support focus, emotional balance, and engagement
Primitive Reflex Integration — incorporating targeted exercises to support neurological development, improve coordination, and build a stronger foundation for intentional movement
creative play-based activities in an era when screen time ins a challenge

My coaching is rooted in the belief that we must presume competence. I am trained in text-based multimodal communication, and I prioritize clear, respectful communication that matches each athlete’s learning style. No two of my athletes are alike.

I work closely with athletes and their families to create sessions that are not only purposeful, but engaging and enjoyable, so that progress is sustainable and meaningful over time.

Our Athletes Say...

Derek gets Bridget moving! He brings his own athleticism and an organized, but varied workout routine each day. Bridget is up and ready for him at 7:00am and has invited him to meet her friends at soccer, so they connected immediately. She can be silly and try to lengthen the breaks between reps, but Derek is on it with a smile and his own gentle determination to get this young woman in shape. He is reliable and a clear communicator with our FMS and me as well.
