C.M.E. is a neuroplasticity approach created by Ramon Cuevas in Chile.  The ultimate goal of the approach is the achievement of gross motor milestones.  The philosophy entails placing children in novel positions to allow for an automatic/reflexive response to be elicited and thus allowing for generation of new motor pathways to the brain.  Typically it is recommended for children who are not yet walking independently.  It can be performed by a certified practitioner who is either a physical therapist or an occupational therapist.

DMI is based off of similar philosophy of CME.  Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) is a therapeutic technique used in physical and occupational therapy to treat children with motor delay by improving automatic postural responses and promoting progress towards developmental milestones. The goal of DMI is to provoke a specified active motor response from the child in response to defined dynamic exercises prescribed by the therapist. This comprehensive intervention incorporates current research on neurorehabilitation, technologies, and methodologies. DMI stimulates neuroplasticity to facilitate new neuronal connections and development of motor milestones.
