The Play Clinic

Every child is born with primitive reflexes which should be controlled and/or inhibited by a higher part of the brain the the 1st year of life. If these reflexes perist past the first year of life, they can interfere with motor development and vidual functioning needed for reading, eye hand coordination needed for writing and perceptual skills. They provide evidence of immaturity in the developing central nervous system which can act as a barrier to learning.

​

The Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology (INPP) was established in 1975 by psychologist Peter Blythe Ph. D. The Institute was set up as a private research organization to investigate the effects of immaturity in the functioning of the central nervous system in children with Specific Learning Difficulties and adults suffering from Agoraphobia and Panic Disorder; to devise reliable methods of assessment; and to develop, supervise and evaluate effective programs of remedial intervention.

The INPP approach provides assessment and intervention to address early reflex integration challenges. This is done bycarrying out physical activites everyday based on the natural movements made in the first year of life. 

​

The exercises help integrate the reflexes, improving

balance, posture, and coordination and control of

eye movements.
