ABOUT US

My name is Maria Signorile and I am the Founder of I Bimbi di Mario ApsI am a Pedagogist, Professional Educator, Feuerstein Method Mediator, Sports Educator, mother of Luca and Marco, and… I sing!
With over 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and their families across various levels of learning and abilities in both Italy and the United States, I have developed certified expertise in a range of educational, rehabilitative, and psychomotor areas. Since 2021, I have also been a Therapist and Trainer specializing in the Rehabilitative Therapy for Neuropsychomotor Development Disorders using FSC Method (Facilitating Cerebral Potential Development) and in Neurodevelopmental Disorders, based on the groundbreaking work of Dr. Dr. Mario Castagnini.

Specifically, I focus on education and cognitive enhancement through mediated learning; on the prevention, assessment, and facilitation of neuropsychomotor development; and on educational and rehabilitative therapy for children, adolescents, and young adults with neurodevelopmental disorders, while providing training and support to parents and professionals.

Lastly (for now), by integrating all the skills I have acquired over the years, I have personally designed and developed a tailored management and support method for coaches working with individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as an intensive cognitive and psychomotor skills enhancement course I named Attiva-Mente Insieme! Attiva-Mente Insieme! (like ..Let's Active Mind all together) (Activate-Mind Together!). This program aims to ensure that all children can significantly improve their autonomy holistically and that sports can truly be accessible to everyone without distinction.

I chose to name my organizationI Bimbi di Marioas a personal gesture of profound gratitude and admiration for my mentor, Dr. Dr. Mario Castagnini who pioneered, researched, and codified the FSC Method.
