Reflexes, Movement, Learning & Behaviour covers an area of education and emotional wellbeing that either tends to be over-looked or falls between professional domains. It provides information that can help parents, teachers and other professionals to understand what lies behind the under-achieving child and adults who suffer from balance-related anxiety disorders. The method fills a yawning gap in ‘the system’, which often fails to recognise underlying physical factors in under-achievement, behavioural and emotional problems. Identifying some of the mechanics involved is the first stage in moving from victimhood to being able to live with a problem and in many cases, overcome it. It helps parents and teachers to understand children better, introduce more effective coping strategies if needed and ideally correct some of the underlying problems enabling children and adults to become more resilient and flexible in response to stress and to realise their potential.

Attention, Balance and Coordination is the most up-to-date handbook for professionals involved in education and child development, providing a new understanding of the source of specific behavioural problems. Written by a respected author of acclaimed titles in this field Explains why early reflexes are important, their functions in development and their effects on learning, behaviour and beyond - also covers adult neurological dysfunctions anxiety and agoraphobia Builds on an ABC of Attention, Balance and Coordination to create a unique look across specific learning difficulties, linked by common motor skills challenges resulting from neuro-developmental deficiencies Includes the INPP Developmental Screening Questionnaire together with guidance on how to use and interpret it

Available to healthcare professionals for the first time, this book contains proven screening tests to measure neuromotor immaturity in children and adults in order to provide a basis for referral and help.

 

Allows practitioners to screen for disorders of movement that can negatively affect educational performance and emotional function in children and adolescents Assesses instances where disorders of movement in adults are affecting thoughts and behavior, as in panic disorder Provides a novel approach for health care professionals observing aberrant reflexes in the absence of more serious pathology Includes reproducible scoring and observation sheets for practice and serves as the perfect complement to Assessing Neuromotor Readiness for Learning

Updated INPP training manual for determining immature neuromotor skills in children and associated interventions to improve neuromotor ability

The substantially revised and expanded Second Edition of Assessing Neuromotor Readiness for Learning is a long-established INPP training manual that has been consistently proven in practice which includes neuromotor skill tests for children, a developmental movement program, and information about paid online access to INPP video training materials.

The book comprises two main sections: Simple screening tests for use by teachers in schools to investigate whether immature neuromotor skills are a factor in children who are under-performing in literacy, numeracy, and writing or who may be underachieving, as well as a developmental movement program designed to be introduced into schools as a class-based activity, which is carried out under teacher supervision for 10 minutes per day, every day over the course of one academic year.

The manual is not intended to be used as a stand alone assessment for diagnostic purposes, but rather a simple means of screening for physical factors which can underlie specific learning difficulties and underachievement, and which respond to the school intervention program.

Assessing Neuromotor Readiness for Learning includes information on:

Simple tests to identify signs of difficulty with visual tracking, control of saccadic eye movements, and aberrant reflex response Testing gross muscle coordination and balance via the Tandem Walk and walking on the outsides of the feet (the Fog test) Assessing visual-auditory-speech recognition of sounds, including individual sounds, sound blends, syllables, and synthesis of the three Utilizing various neuromotor tests, including the Romberg test, the one leg stand, crossing the midline, and the finger and thumb opposition test for qualitative purposes.

Assessing Neuromotor Readiness for Learning is an essential guide for teachers who want to identify children who may be under-achieving as a result of immature motor skills, implement the INPP screening test and/or program into their lessons, as well as researchers interested in using the screening test to evaluate children’s neuromotor skills and efficacy of various intervention programs.

Auswirkungen neuromotorischer Unreife bei Kindern mit spezifischen Lernschwierigkeiten und VerhaltensauffälligkeitenMit diesem Werk liegt nun auch die Übersetzung des maßgeblichen Handbuchs über die physischen Grundlagen des Lernens und Verhaltens für Fachleute vor, die mit Erziehung und kindlicher Entwicklung zu tun haben, geschrieben von der anerkannten Autorin viel beachteter Titel zu diesem Thema.Es beschreibt die Grundlagen der INPP-Methode, die vom INPP (Institut für Neuro-Physiologische Psychologie) im Laufe der letzten 40 Jahre entwickelt wurden und die ein grundlegend neues Verständnis für die Ursachen spezifischer Lern- und Verhaltensauffälligkeiten bereitstellen und liefert einen umfassenden Überblick über die Beziehung zwischen neuromotorischer Reife und körperlicher Entwicklung im Hinblick auf Lernen und Verhalten in der Kindheit und auch im späteren Leben:Warum sind frühe Reflexe wichtig, welche Funktionen haben sie in der frühen Entwicklung, welche Auswirkungen haben sie auf Lernen, Verhalten und andere Aspekte der Entwicklung wie Körperhaltung, Gleichgewicht, und motorische Fähigkeiten, wenn sie nicht erfolgreich integriert wurden.Enthält den aktuellen umfangreichen Forschungstand, der hinter den einzelnen Fragen des INPP Screening-Fragebogens steht, zusammen mit einer Anleitung zu seiner Verwendung und Interpretation.• Mit aktuellen Informationen über die Rolle des vestibulären Systems bei Angst und Agoraphobie, einem separaten Kapitel mit Fallstudien sowie einem Gastbeitrag von Dr. Peter Blythe über die Entwicklung der INPP-Methode und einen Epilog, der die INPP-Methode in einen breiteren wissenschaftlichen Kontext stellt.

Kinder auf ihrem Weg zu mehr Konzentration, Koordination und Lernerfolg begleitenSchulreife ist auch eine Frage der neuromotorischen Entwicklung. Neuromotorische Entwicklungsverzögerungen führen daher unerkannt oft zu Lern- und Verhaltensproblemen bei Kindern.Die INPP-Methode (Institut für Neuro-Physiologische Psychologie) bietet ein strukturiertes Screening-Verfahren zur Erhebung neuromotorischer Unreife, das in der Praxis und in der Forschung sinnvoll genutzt werden kann, und ein Bewegungsübungsprogramm, das darauf abzielt, die neuromotorische Reife zu fördern. Das Programm basiert auf Bewegungsmustern aus der frühkindlichen Entwicklung und ist für den schulischen (und Kindergarten-) Alltag gut adaptierbar.Das Buch stellt neben einer theoretischen Fundierung auch zahlreiche praktische Testverfahren, Beobachtungsbögen und detaillierte Übungsanleitungen für Schulen (und Kindergärten) zur Verfügung. Es liefert umfangreiche wissenschaftliche Evidenz für die Wirksamkeit der Methode hinsichtlich kognitiver Leistungen, Lesefähigkeit, Motorik und Verhalten sowie für die Validität des Screening-Verfahrens auf neuromotorische Unreife.Dieses Buch ist ein unverzichtbarer Begleiter für alle Pädagogen, Therapeuten und Ärzte, die Kinder auch physiologisch auf ihrem Weg zu mehr Konzentration, Koordination und Lernerfolg begleiten wollen.Nach erfolgter Registrierung auf der Website von Hogrefe können die im Buch dargestellten Testmaterialien zum Ausdruck heruntergeladen werden.

Claves del desarrollo neurológico para un buen aprendizajeEl niño bien equilibrado cuenta de forma sencilla, amena y precisa cuál es el proceso del desarrollo motor durante los primeros años de vida del niño, subrayando la importancia del movimiento, y en especial del equilibrio, como primer sistema sensorial en madurar. Pero también nos habla de la trascendencia de la experiencia sensorial de los niños, enfatizando aspectos como la música y la alimentación, del efecto de los reflejos primitivos retenidos, así como de las múltiples oportunidades que nos brinda el entorno para favorecer el desarrollo cerebral. Todas ellas, cuestiones cruciales para el aprendizaje posterior.Un libro especialmente dirigido a padres, maestros, terapeutas y otros profesionales que necesiten nuevas respuestas para tratar niños con dificultades de aprendizaje.Tal y como expresa la autora, Sally Goddard, Directora del Instituto de Psicología Neurofisiológica de Chester (Reino Unido), El niño bien equilibrado es un libro que nace con la esperanza de proporcionar un conocimiento profundo sobre procesos físicos de la primera infancia, que el sistema de vida actual no permite realizar adecuadamente, y su impacto en el aprendizaje y en el desarrollo emocional, para poder ayudar a cualquier persona que esté involucrada en el cuidado de los niños.Este libro también supone una nueva propuesta para aquellos casos en los que estos procesos no se hayan dado en la edad apropiada. Retomando las etapas del desarrollo físico temprano podemos dar al cerebro una "segunda oportunidad" para subsanar aquellos déficits que interfieren en el aprendizaje del niño.Al final del libro nos daremos cuenta de que se trata de proporcionar a nuestros hijos, alumnos y pacientes el mejor entorno posible en el que poder crecer. Pero, ¿cómo debe ser este entorno? Como la misma autora señala, no se trata de dar recetas. No hay fórmulas ni tampoco ningún niño es igual a otro, pero sí que existen conocimientos e inspiraciones que pueden indicarnos un camino a seguir y proporcionarnos el coraje a través de una comprensión profunda del desarrollo del niño. Observándolo, sobre todo, empezaremos a estar en disposición de tomar decisiones apropiadas y fundamentadas.
