Olivier Langoisseux

Olivier Langoisseux is the co-founder of Yinergies, a collective of multi-modality therapies in Asia and Europe. He travels extensively to South America and Asia as an expert livelihood consultant for community development.

Seven years ago, he suffered a serious spinal injury, causing him to become paralysed from the waist down. During his hospitalisation, doctors predicted the loss of mobility in his legs. He received his first session of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) on the hospital bed and it changed his life forever. “I could feel each vertebra in my spine adjusting and all the cells in my body rejuvenating. After the session, I felt almost strong enough to do a backflip!” It was the beginning of a new shift in his life.

During one of the sessions, he became enlightened to the Essence of Craniosacral that sparked his journey to become a certified BCST practitioner from the Body Intelligence Institute. In addition to rigorous yoga practices, he eventually had a full recovery for his spine and is now a certified yoga instructor.

Olivier works mostly with special needs children throughout Asia. He is also certified in the following:

• Neural Manipulation from Barral Institute: Peripheral Nerve Manipulation Upper Body (NM2)

KC Soo

KC Soo found his true calling 11 years ago when he started his practice of teaching special needs children. He specialises in enhancing the learning potential of these children by using the Meditated Learning Experience (MLE) methodology. Currently, he attends to children in Petaling Jaya, Singapore, Bandung, Jakarta and Surabaya.

The MLE methodology was founded by Professor Reuvan Feuertstein. It is an optimistic therapy based on the fact that a child’s or an adult’s brain can change regardless of age or condition. It was first used to treat children traumatised by the Holocaust after World War Il. It is one of the earliest learning methodologies for children and the most well-researched, with hundreds of research papers on it.

KC works with children of various ages and conditions. He has worked with babies, young children and teenagers as well as adults. They are diagnosed with conditions such as autism, ADD, ADHD, GDD, PDD-NOS, Down syndrome and dyslexia. KC is one of the few therapists in Malaysia who treats children with Asperger syndrome.

KC goes by the methodology motto, you love me, don’t accept me as I am. He wants to push his students to be better selves. He guides them to learn independently, to explore more of their senses as they learn, and to discover their own creations, He usually works with them on a one-on-one basis. A combination of pens and papers, exercises, dialogues, board games, IQ puzzles and iPad games are used in his sessions. In specific, KC teaches them to pay attention to their actions, to learn how to gather data systematically, to improve on their eye focus, to improve their working and auditory memories, to control their impulsivity and to learn directly from their own experiences.

Manoharan Ramasamy

Mr Manoharan Ramasamy, fondly known as Mr Mano, started as an Assistant Physiotherapist at Spastic Centre’s Special Needs unit in 1988. It was that very year when he started the National Cerebral Palsy Symposium and Asia Pacific Symposium with his friends. They also started the Ex-Pupil Association of Spastic Kids and organised a lot of activities for them such as campfires, bungalow stay, trips to other Malaysian states and festival celebrations.

The following year, he went to India to volunteer at Mother Theresa Home. There, he helped children with mental retardation as a physiotherapist and special education teacher. During his stint there, he also took on multiple roles such as attendant, cleaner and painter. In 1990, he joined the pioneer batch at Kasturba Medical College (KMC) to study speech and language therapy. This was where he saw cochlear implant operation was done and learnt the ways to handle children with Cl.

From 1996 to 1999, he trained children and teachers at the Sungai Petani Persatuan Kanak-kanak Khas before starting his career as a freelance therapist there. During that period, speech therapy is still a relatively unknown field. His first student then was a severe hypotonic girl with feeding problem. Thanks to her, Mr Mano gained experience on the steps of proper feeding therapy.

Between 2002 and 2008, Mr Mano trained teachers and students at Autism Centre in Butterworth, Malaysia, and also embarked on new challenges in the autism field. Over time, his expertise and recommendations from parents led Mr Mano to become well-known in the cerebral palsy circle. It was then when he realised his true calling – to help children with special needs.

Presently he is pursuing The Anat Baniel Method in USA.
