Assessing Neuromotor Readiness for Learning

A significant number of children in mainstream schools suffer from neuromotor immaturity. While several motor training and movement programmes are available, the INPP model is unique in having been rigorously evaluated in research and practice, and has consistently proved more effective than rivals or general movement activities in improving neuromotor performance. Assessing Neuromotor Readiness for Learning is based on an established training manual which has been in use as part of INPP's popular training courses, and is a foundation stone of the overall INPP approach. This new text has now been substantially revised and expanded to include information normally only delivered in training, as well as new illustrations throughout. The manual is organized into three sections. The first offers a battery of tests to assess key reflexes and visual perception in children aged 4-7; the second provides a similar series for children aged 7 and a half and over. The third section details a complete developmental movement programme designed for use with whole classes or smaller groups over the course of one academic year. This book may be supported and enhanced by INPP video training materials and score sheets, available for download purchase from the INPP website.
