Perceptual Motor Programme

Learning difficulties often have neurological basis. The conduction of messages to, from, and within the brain of a child experiencing difficulties with learning, is usually found to be inefficient. As part of this, the child may have primitive reflexes not integrated early in life that prevent freedom of movement and hinder normal development. Therefore his/her body often does not work efficiently. As a result, many of those who struggle academically were not really ready for school when they started. It is possible however to help these children.

Our Movement Programme has been specifically developed to address these challenges. Fun, daily movement sequences have been designed to fill in the neurological gaps by triggering the nervous system to work more efficiently. Although the programme is based on physical exercises it helps to create neurological pathways that will markedly influence child's learning abilities. It is based on the principles of Brain Gym, Move to Learn and Rhythmic Movement Programme.
