The course was originally developed by Sally Goddard Blythe, (seen in video above)  Director of The Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology (INPP). She is the author of many books and published papers including: Reflexes, Movement, Learning and Behaviour (2023), The Well Balanced Child (2003),  Attention, Balance and Coordination – the "A.B.C. of Learning Success (Wiley-Blackwell, 2009),  and Neuromotor Immaturity in Children and Adults—The INPP Screening Test for Clinicians and Health Practitioners (2014).

Assessing Neuromotor Readiness for Learning is a substantially revised and expanded edition of a long established INPP training manual that has been consistently proven in practice.

The publication and training day include tests to assess children’s neuromotor skills, a developmental movement programme, and online access to INPP video training materials.

​

  • Based on the proven INPP model for neuromotor development screening and intervention, which is unique in having been rigorously evaluated in research and practice.

  • Places emphasis on assessing children’s physical development and understanding how neuromotor skills pro- vide physical foundations for learning success.

  • Includes a physical intervention programme designed for use in schools (6+ years).

​

​

​The INPP Screening test is designed for use anyone with a first degree and professional qualifications and experience in a field allied to Education, Medicine or Psychology.

 

The INPP Developmental Movement Programme for use in Schools has been designed specifically to be used in schools with groups of children over the course of one academic year. Exercises from the INPP programme for schools should not be used out of context with individual children.
