The course will cover the theory, screening and developmental intervention programme for use in schools plus the training manual (RRP. £65.00). The INPP Developmental Movement Programme for use in Schools has been designed specifically to be used in schools with groups of children over the course of one academic year. Exercises from the INPP programme for schools should not be used out of context with individual children. Professionals wishing to use INPP exercises with individual children should attend the INPP Practitioner Training Course.

Assessing Neuromotor Readiness for Learning is a substantially revised and expanded edition of a long established INPP training manual that has been consistently proven in practice.

The publication and training day include tests to assess children’s neuromotor skills, a developmental movement programme, and online access to INPP video training materials.

Based on the proven INPP model for neuromotor development screening and intervention, which is unique in having been rigorously evaluated in research and practice.
Places emphasis on assessing children’s physical development and understanding how neuromotor skills pro- vide physical foundations for learning success.
Includes a physical intervention programme designed for use in schools (6+ years).

Neuromotor Immaturity in Children and Adults makes proven tests available for the first time to the health community at large, allowing practitioners to test for neuromotor immaturity and provide help if required.

Research has shown that contrary to popular belief many children do have immature neuromotor skills without more serious pathology, and that this is directly linked to underachievement in education and other areas
Disorders of movement can also affect thoughts and behavior – the test can be used with adults to identify cases where factors influencing balance and perception underlie psychological symptoms such as panic disorder
Includes a range of reproducible score sheets and observation sheets for use in practice
Builds on the success of the author’s previous work, Assessing Neuromotor Readiness for Learning, allowing a new audience of primary and secondary health care practitioners to screen for signs of neuromotor immaturity and take appropriate action.
