 | LEARNING PROBLEMS |
'back to the Essence...' of Learning | Parents are usually the first people to recognize when a child has a problem. Often they do not know what is wrong, they simple sense: "There is something different about my child." Unless the symptoms are severe, the difficulties are often overlooked and parents are told: "He will grow out of it!" What is almost worse is that they themselves are often dismissed as being over anxious or even neurotic parents..... When children first enter formal school , it is generally assumed that they will be able to sit still, pay attention, hold a writing implement and get their eyes to make the movements necessary to follow along a line of print. Many children do acquire these skills without difficulty; others take longer because they enter the school system at a definite disadvantage in terms of their neurological development and therefore lack the necessary physical abilities to succeed. In terms of higher grades these children run the risk of experiencing what is labeled specific learning difficulties, not because they lack intelligence, but because the basic systems fundamental to learning were not fully in place at the time they started school. attention, Balance and Co-ordination are the primary A,B, and C upon which all later academic learning depends.... | Some of the Primitive Reflexes that can be retained.

| | The above two paragraphs are taken from Sally Goddard's (director, researcher and therapist at The Institute of Neuro-Physiological psychology) book REFLEXES, LEARNING and BEHAVIOR A Window Into the Child's Mind - A non-invasive approach to solving learning & behavior problems where she describes in detail What these reflexes are how they work how they can be retained and how we can re-install their proper functioning. | | Behind many learning difficulty labels are issues with the Body's natural installation of it's PRIMITIVE (or survival) REFLEXES and their inhibition by POSTURAL CONTROL Reflexes. In the 3 Step - 7 Ways 'free your spirit' Process we cover the reinstallation and balancing of these retained reflexes in STEP 3 having worked through step 1 & 2, using a varity of Reflex, Kinesiology,Yoga,or Movement, THe Brain & Learning techniques in Priority order. We work towards the changes holding by the inhibition of the primitive reflexes and the development of postural control. Primitive Reflexes are always present and can be a concern after a trauma, illness, pregnancy, or even being over weight. May be retained or reemerged Primitive reflexes are all that stand in the way of your freedom. |
