Then this workshop is for you. Neurodiversity in the Body covers what primitive reflexes are, how to identify them, how they impact learning, behaviour and coordination. 

How children move, can change how children pay attention, balance, listen, focus, process information and develop coordination.

This workshop examines the intricate relationship between the mind and body, highlighting how variations in neural networks are often reflected in physical abilities. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the physical foundations of neurodiversity and discover how these differences influence behavioural patterns. The session will also reveal unexpected links between neurodiverse conditions and retained primitive reflexes. Through engaging, hands-on activities, attendees will be introduced to practical techniques designed to support all children in their development.

This workshop will support professionals to understand the physical connections to neurodiversity and implement effective strategies in their work.

Specifically, the workshop covers: 

• What primitive reflexes are and how they hinder children’s development
• The link between primitive reflexes, neuromotor immaturity, and children’s development
