Marco Moves

Some children think best when their body is moving. This is Marco's story.

Marco cannot sit still. He has tried. Every day, his teacher asks him to slow down. Every day, his body has other ideas. Marco begins to believe that something is wrong with him.

Then a classmate writes something true about him. And everything changes.

Marco Moves is the second book in the Calibrated Kids Character Stories series. Marco is an Action Catalyst who learns by doing, moving, and engaging fully with the world around him. His story is for every child who has been told to sit down when what they needed was to stand up.

About This Series

The Calibrated Kids series features five characters, each with a distinct learning profile. These are not diagnoses. They are strengths. Each book centers on a real challenge that reflects how that child thinks, learns, and moves through the world. The series is built on Applied Behavior Analysis principles and designed with neurodivergent learners as the primary audience.

Who This Book Is For

• Children ages 4 to 8, especially those who are high-energy or movement-based learners
• Parents of children who have been told they are disruptive or unfocused
• Educators and ABA practitioners working with active learners
• Any child who has felt that the way they learn is a problem

Written by Angela R. Strong, Registered Behavior Technician, 27-year Coast Guard veteran, and parent of three neurodiverse children.
