Summary:

This video program has been updated and expanded to include more treatment examples and explanation of treatment techniques and results. Children with learning problems are too often labeled and categorized without a careful analysis of their functional learning skills. The ability for children to be successful in developing learning strategies depends in large part on the integration of their sensorimotor processes. These processes require the organization of movement and posture and the sensory components involved in the task. Integrated motor patterns are most likely to develop when proper alignment, postural tone, weight distribution, and mechanical advantage for efficient muscle synergies are facilitated through active physical handling. This video presents direct physical handling and facilitation techniques for establishing a neuropostural foundation for children with motor disorganization.
