INPP Ltd
The Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology (INPP) was founded in 1975 as a private clinical and research organisation.
Its purpose was to research into the effects of underlying physical factors in the presentation of specific learning difficulties and under-achievement in children and adolescents, Agoraphobia and Panic Disorder in adults and to develop reliable methods of assessment and remediation.
The INPP individual programme has been used with thousands of children over the last fifty years, helping many to overcome physical barriers to learning and to start to achieve their potential and obstacles to emotional self-regulation and well-being.
Aspects of the programme were adapted by Sally Goddard Blythe MSc. in 1996 to be applied in school settings enabling teachers to screen children for signs of neuromotor immaturity and implement a daily physical movement programme into a class situation over the term of one school year.
The INPP Screening Test and Developmental Movement Programme has been trialled in schools in several countries and has been the subject of peer reviewed published research. The aim of the school programme was to make an aspect of the method available to a larger number of children irrespective of financial status.
INPP developed training programmes in the method for other professionals beginning in Sweden in the 1970’s and the UK in the 1980’s. Licensed, standardised training is now offered in 16+ countries throughout the world and international courses are available for students located in countries where no national trainer has been appointed.
In 2025 management and administration of INPP training and clinical standards is transferring to an international management group, comprising National Principals (licensed trainers) of the method in all countries where it is provided.
Each National Principal is responsible for the management of training and Licentiates in their territory.

Licentiates are practitioners of the method who have completed the required INPP training courses, compulsory continuing professional development (CPD) days and adhere to the terms of an annually renewable Licentiate agreement. Licentiates practise as independent therapists who are responsible for all aspects of their own practise.
INPP Ltd remains the owner of the copyright of all clinical and training materials developed to 2025.
