Mini-Groups in Reflex Integration and Neurological Movement

with Interactive Metronome

all levels (for Writing, Reading, Learning, Emotion Regulation, Memory, Focus, Organisation, Behaviour)  

 

April 22- 26 Tuesday - Saturday 9:45 - 10:30 AM: PRIMITIVE REFLEX INTEGRATION, INCL NEUROLOGICAL MOVEMENT WITH INTERACTIVE METRONOME 

Group led by 2 therapists - our Melillo Method therapist and a pediatric physiotherapist

5 MINI- GROUP SESSIONS limited spots

4 participants and 4 parents per group

6 components of the program:

  1. Reflex Assessment

  2. Targeted Exercises

  3. Vestibular Stimulation

  4. Oculomotor Training

  5. Sensory Integration

  6. Neurological Movements 

For who: for children and young adults at all levels of functioning and with different diagnosis, or without a diagnosis

 5 protocols incorporating these components:

  1. Session 1: Foundation - Reflex Assessment and Targeted Exercises

    • Reflex Assessment: Parents will be guided on how to observe and assess 8 key primitive reflexes in their children (e.g., Moro, Grasp, ATNR).

    • Targeted Exercises: Parents will learn 2-3 simple exercises per each reflex to begin integrating identified retained reflexes. These exercises will involve specific movements to inhibit the reflex and promote mature motor patterns.

  2. Session 2: Balance and Coordination - Vestibular Stimulation and Neurological Movements

    • Vestibular Stimulation: Parents will learn safe and gentle techniques to stimulate their child's vestibular system (e.g., gentle rocking, modified spinning).

    • Neurological Movements: Parents will be taught specific movement patterns (e.g., cross-crawl) that promote communication between brain hemispheres and improve coordination.

  3. Session 3: Eye-Brain Connection - Oculomotor Training and Sensory Integration

    • Oculomotor Training: Parents will guide their children through simple eye-tracking exercises to improve visual tracking and coordination.

  4. Session 4: Rhythm and Timing - Interactive Metronome and Neurological Movements

    • Interactive Metronome: Parents will learn how to use Interactive Metronome exercises with their children, focusing on synchronising movements with the beat.

    • Neurological Movements: Integrate rhythmic movements with the Interactive Metronome, such as marching or clapping in time.

  5. Session 5: Putting It All Together - Integrated Activities and Home Program Review

    • Integrated Activities: Combine elements from previous sessions (reflex integration exercises, vestibular stimulation, oculomotor training, Interactive Metronome) into more complex, integrated activities.

    • Home Program Review: Parents receive a detailed 2-month home program, including a schedule and instructions for continuing the exercises at home. The program will be tailored to each child's specific needs and progress

EUR 500 for 5 group sessions per week, led by 2 therapists - April 22-26

incl in-person Parent Training and a 2-month Home Program
