NDMT – Neuro Development

NDMT: Neuro Development Movement Therapy

There is often an overlap in some of the signs and symptoms of dyslexia, dyspraxia and attention deficit disorder. People with dyslexia for example, share symptoms such as problems with balance, bilateral integration, spatial skills and sequencing, in common with children with dyspraxia.

It is important to ASSESS and IDENTIFY the underlying causes of your child’s difficulties.

Central to this therapy is the idea that learning and behavioural difficulties are a result of developmental issues or mild delays in the developmentof Neural pathways ( or wiring) in a child’s early years.

Neuro Development Movement Therapy can have on wonderful results with children who have learning and behavioural difficulties.

We look behind the problem and help treat the underlying causes through a programme of daily physical exercises tailored to your individual needs.

This is a non-invasive programme of movements A lot of the movements used are natural for a baby and a young child, the nervous system is gently encouraged to mature and become more open to learning.  

A complete programme is suitable for ages 5 – 18 and generally lasts for between 12 – 18 months.

Many parents, caregivers and teachers see a change in their children quite soon after beginning therapy. In most cases changes are gradual, and each child is different. The first signs of improvements are often seen in swimming, cycling and sporting activities. Staying on task longer – to learn things, like tying shoelaces
