Who can attend: Anyone can attend
Each course comes with a Manual and an Attendance certificate for CPD.
This 2 day course teaches you how rhythmic movements can be used to assist in developing the vital neural connections between the Basal ganglia, the Neocortex and the Prefrontal cortex that relate to challenges with impulsivity, focus, attention, comprehension, speech, organisation, muscle tone & motor skills.
The primitive reflexes we work with in Level 1 help to build the neural foundations and link up the frontal lobes, the CEO of the brain. This is underdeveloped in children and adults with attention challenges and ADHD / ADD but can be improved and connected easily using rhythmic movements to integrate the reflexes necessary for these skills.
We will cover –
- What is Rhythmic Movement Training and the origins of the programme
- How does a baby develop from first being helpless when born into a child that is a confident and successful learner? How does that change take place
- Why children have difficulties sitting still, being inattentive & lack focus
- Brain structure
- The journey and role of the reflexes
- The role of movement relating to reflex inhibition
- Why do learning challenges occur?
- Focus and attention challenges as immaturity of the brain
- How to help ADHD without the need for medication, or to reduce the need
- The qualities of exact rhythmic movements
- Working with compensations and Asymmetry
- Physical and emotional reactions to movement and reflex integration
- Stimulating the senses to promote balance and postural control
- Movements that improve concentration, attention and comprehension
- Stimulating the Reticular Activating System for alertness and helping ADD
- Identifying developmental challenges and how to clear them
- The effects of RMT on behaviour, impulse control and reasoning skills
- The Basal ganglia, motor development and muscle tone to help postural skills
- The reflexes we will look at are the Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex, the Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex, The Spinal galant, the Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex, The Amphibian Reflex, The Landau Reflex, The Infant plantar and the Babinski reflex
