*New Publication” What babies and children REALLY need. - June 10, 2008

“What babies and children REALLY need”. This exciting new title is essential reading for all parents and future parents. It examines child development from the perspective of what children need from the environment to grow into healthy, happy and socially well adjusted adults.
Child development begins with the pre-conceptual environment and is shaped by events through pregnancy, birth, feeding, physical interaction and social integration in the early years, which set the scene for much of later adolescent and adult behaviour. This book examines many of the current problems in today’s society and attempts to provide answers to what can be done both by parents and society in general to prevent a downward spiral into selfish and anti-social behaviour. For further details see www.inpp.org.uk/publications/books.

“I hope you are ready to give a very big splash of publicity on this book when it comes out. It fills a niche for educators, medical professionals, therapists, family members, potential parents and new parents….” Mary Waller, Professor Emeritus. University of Wisconsin.

DDAT(Dore)Door Closes -

The recent announcement that DDAT (UK) Limited Camden Holdings Limited are both in Administration (the Companies) has left many families seeking help in limbo.

INPP has been successfully helping children with educational difficulties linked to vestibular (balance) and co-ordination problems since 1975 using both tailor-made and school based (class activity) movement programmes.

Children are first screened on the basis of developmental history and presenting symptoms to assess whether an INPP programme is suitable. (Please note an INPP Programme is not suitable for all children and does not claim to cure all forms of Dyslexia)

If appropriate, a neuro-developmental diagnostic assessment is then carried out using a range of non-invasive standardised medical tests to assess: gross muscle co-ordination and balance; fine motor control; abnormal cerebellar involvement; primitive and postural reflexes; oculo-motor functioning (eye movements); visual-perceptual performance and auditory processing.

Based on the assessment findings, an individual exercise programme is compiled, which is carried out under parental supervision at home. Time involved in carrying out the programme is 5 – 10 minutes per day. The average duration of an INPP Programme is 12 months and involves approximately 9 -10 visits to Chester.

Payment is made at the end of each session. Payment is not required in advance.

5 steps to accessing an INPP programme:

1. Complete and return the INPP Screening Questionnaire
2. Initial Consultation
3. Neuro-Developmental Diagnostic Assessment and Exercise Programme
4. Report Reading
5. Reviews at 8 weekly intervals
