Inhibiting Primitive Reflexes Program

There have been numerous research informing us of positive correlations between movement/physical activity, learning and achievement. Studies suggest that regular physical activity supports healthy child development by improving memory, concentration and positive outlook.

John Ratey, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Harvard Medical School, is one of the world’s leading authorities on the brain, and author of A User's Guide to the Brain, calls exercise "Miracle-Gro for the brain" because of its role in stimulating nerve growth factors.

Our Motor Development Program is designed to inhibit primitive reflexes which have been researched as one of the causative factors for learning difficulties.

If primitive reflexes are retained, you may observe some of the following in your child:
  • Poor concentration
  • Emotional presentation
  • Poor impulse control
  • Weak balance and motor skills
  • Weak posture, sitting position
  • Weak academic performance, organisation of work, copying from board

Multiple research from studies and reports from teachers all over the world have brought about improvements in:
  • Concentration and Focus
  • Memory
  • Academics: reading, writing, math, test taking
  • Physical coordination
  • Relationships
  • Self-responsibility
  • Organization skills
  • Attitude
