Learning doesn’t happen separately from the body.

Skills like balance, posture, coordination and eye tracking all play a part in how a child manages the classroom day, from sitting comfortably, to focusing, to reading and writing with ease.

When these areas are working well, they tend to go unnoticed.

But when they are under strain, children often have to put in much more effort just to keep up.

INPP’s work looks at these physical foundations of learning, including how neuromotor development supports attention, coordination and classroom performance. When this development is less mature, it can affect both learning and behaviour, even in children who are bright, motivated, and trying their best.

Taking this into account can help explain why some difficulties persist, despite good teaching and plenty of effort.

This is such an important article for all parents seeking help for their children…

Your child is worth seeing a qualified professional.

If you aren’t near me, find an INPP Licentiate near you.

Before choosing a therapist, practitioner or developmental professional, ask about qualifications, training, supervision and ongoing professional development. Here's why it matters.

The Children's Questionnaire is designed to identify whether the INPP Neuro-developmental therapy/reflex integration we offer is likely to help your child.

This is helpful for both you and me: for you so that you will see the sort of information I will be looking for and for me to begin to form an understanding of the difficulties your child may be facing.
​
Research published in the British Journal of Occupational Therapy has shown that a score of 7 or more 'yes' answers on this questionnaire indicates that further investigation for underlying neuro-motor immaturity is advised for children over 7 years of age

This questionnaire is specifically looking at neuromotor immaturity. It may be that there are still ways that Map & Compass can be a help including sound therapy or a customised programme, but this will give you a good idea if neuromotor immaturity may be at the root of the difficulties your child is facing.

For more information on the auditory therapy I offer that can address a range of difficulties please read more on the website or feel free to be in touch.

Learning challenges are often described in terms of reading, writing, or concentration.

But for some children, those difficulties don’t start with learning itself.

They can be linked to how the body and nervous system have developed.

INPP’s work focuses on the role of early movement patterns, often referred to as primitive reflexes, and how these support a child’s neuromotor development. When these patterns are not fully integrated, everyday tasks in the classroom can require more effort than they should.

This might show up as difficulty sitting still, problems with coordination, or needing to work much harder to focus and keep up.

Over time, this added effort can affect confidence as well as learning.

Understanding the physical foundations of learning helps to explain why some children continue to struggle, even when they are trying their best.
