Who Can a Neurodevelopment Program Help? When I tell people that I am a neurodevelopment therapist, this is the most common question, and if you are looking at this website, the chances are you are looking for help for yourself or you child and most of all you want to know if you are in the right place. So simply put, neurodevelopment therapy is a way of giving the brain and neurological system a second chance at development. When some of the developmental stages are missed, primitive reflexes don't get a chance to develop properly or develop and remain active when they should have gone away. A reflex is an action that the body has no conscious control over, such as closing your eyes when you sneeze. We are most familiar with the moro reflex in babies, when they startle and fling their arms wide, then cling and cry. Reflex movements, which start from 5 weeks in utero, build the nervous system, allow the brain and body to organise and develop so that eventually you can stand, move, think and function with ease. When these processes don't develop as they should then problems can develop such as poor focus, balance, impulse control, anxiety, social interaction, reading and writing, sensory processing and other issues. Children then get labelled and lose their confidence. In many cases, all that is required is a reorganisation of the neurological system. A neurodevelopment programme can be used as a stand alone therapy or can be used alongside any other programme or treatment.

We offer professional accredited training programmes in The Listening Program, inTime®, The Movement Program®, TAVS (Test of Auditory and Visual Skills) and Brain Gym®. Working with many health and education professionals, Learning Solutions offers continued support to our network of trained Providers. Learning Solutions offers both training for professionals and schools, as well as assessment and consultation services for individuals with learning challenges and sensory processing difficulties. Over many years, Primary and Secondary Schools in the UK and internationally have benefited from our INSET and training packages as well as workshops for children. Alan Heath is our consultant and trainer. With a background in psychology and NLP, he has spent many years training extensively in the areas of sensory integration, bi-lateral integration, primitive reflexes and sound therapies with a particular interest in the integration and processing of sensory information at a neurodevelopmental level. Alan presents at most of the major Educational Conferences in the UK and works extensively in schools in the UK and internationally, training teachers in Auditory and Sensory Processing, The Movement Program and The Listening Program. He is the co-developer of The Movement Program and TAVS (Test of Auditory and Visual Skills and is the author of "Beating Dyslexia A Natural Way" published in 1997.

Primitive reflexes integration seminar by Dr. Omer Hirsh

By Hopeful Brain

Primitive reflexes are the foundation on which our entire nervous system is built! As we develop, our brain learns to integrate them, thus leading to more complex developmental stages. In developmental delays and disorders, as well as in brain injury, this process may be interrupted. Any Professional working with children or a parent interested in improving their child's care should know about these reflexes and how to integrate them. Join us on a full-day seminar with Dr. Omer Hirsh, a developmental disorders specialist, where we will learn what are primitive reflexes, what they look like, how to check for them, and when necessary - how to integrate them. This is the foundation. The seminar will include hands-on experience exercises and ways to integrate the primitive reflexes faster by introducing co-activation of the senses By the end of the seminar you will be able to: • Understand the cause of retained primitive reflexes • The importance of integrating primitive reflexes for normal brain development. • The connection between retained primitive reflexes and the maturation of different networks and paths in the brain. • Know how to test primitive reflexes correctly. • Avoid the traps many therapists fall into while testing for primitive reflexes. • Learn how to integrate primitive reflexes faster by co-activation. • Understand why in some circumstances primitive reflexes return (TBI, Trauma, Stroke) • Learn the correct exercises and how to motivate patients to do them at home. About the speaker: Dr. Omer Hirsh is a Doctor of Chiropractic, Developmental Disorders specialist, CSO and co-founder at eMazeLabs, Health and wellness entrepreneur, and Lecturer. Co-Founder & Clinical Director at Hopeful BrainIn his practice, he treats children with neurodevelopmental disorders. He earned his Fellowship in Childhood Neurodevelopmental Disorders with the International Board of Functional Neurology in 2018. Dr. Hirsh graduated as Valedictorian from Life Chiropractic College West in 2011 and has been taking postgraduate classes in Functional Neurology and Pediatrics since 2009. In 2014 Dr. Hirsh published his first translation to Hebrew of the very important book; “Disconnected Kids” written by Dr. Robert Melillo. Dr. Omer Hirsh has a great belief in helping children with learning disabilities and neurological problems.
