Documentary filmed at Lake City clinic

By LEAH WEATHERSBY

The Development, Movement & Education Center, a Lake City non-profit group which provides services for learning disabled and head injured children and adults, recently got a visit from two film makers from across the Atlantic.

Penny Greenland, director of Jabadao, an organization based in England that studies movement, first heard of the Development, Movement & Education Center two years ago when a colleague gave her some articles written by Betty Lamont, therapy director at the center. Greenland and Sandy Crichton, a senior movement practitioner at Jabadao, decided to fly to Seattle to learn more about Lamont's work, which takes children and adults back through missed or disorganized stages of neurological development.

Over the next two years, the groups shared information and eventually started planning a documentary film titled "A Missing Piece of the Jigsaw" to be sold in England to school teachers, parents and others. Lamont also hopes to air the film on public television.

Greenland and Crichton filmed in Seattle for eight days and expect to finish editing their documentary in February.

The Development, Movement & Education Center is located at 12351 Lake City Way, #201. (
