Top-Rated Primitive Reflex Integration and Rhythmic Movement CEU Courses

The Brain and Sensory Foundations program gives exceptional training in neurodevelopmental and integrative movements. Neurodevelopmental movements are derived from what babies do in the womb and infancy. They are largely responsible for the tremendous rate of brain growth we see in infants and toddlers. No matter what our age, these movements help mature the brain, body, and sensory systems so we can function more optimally.

Neurodevelopmental movements are calming and excellent for sensory integration. These innate movements are hardwired to develop vision, hearing, balance, core strength, postural control, muscle tone, interoception, and proprioception. Our physical, emotional, social, and learning abilities depend on these foundational movements of infancy to develop properly.

Gaps in development often stem from challenges during womb and infant life, or from trauma or injuries that occur later in life. By doing movements from the Brain and Sensory Foundations program we get a second chance to build the brain, body, and sensory systems to be the best they can be—creating more ease and effectiveness in all realms of life.

These baby photos show how innate neurodevelopmental movements are vital for proper development. The upright, aligned babies have good core strength, stamina, mature sensory processing, and optimal brain development. They experienced a full repertoire of neurodevelopmental movements in infancy.

The slumped babies lack aligned posture and core strength; they have not fully experienced their infant neurodevelopmental movements and have less neuro-sensory-motor maturity. As they grow, the compromised babies will likely experience discomfort, fatigue, lack of focus, sensory issues, and poor learning.

Neurodevelopmental movements give babies, children, teens, and adults the best chance to develop and function well. The neurodevelopmental movements can help with many different challenges because they are innately hardwired into development to generate maturity and function in the foundational neuro-sensory-motor systems.

A lack of neurodevelopmental movements in infancy is associated with ADHD, sensory processing disorders, anxiety, learning disorders, clumsiness, weakness, poor emotional regulation, vision disorders, poor social skills, and speech delays.
