Neuro-Developmental Delay (NDD) refers to the immature functioning of the Central Nervous System. This immaturity is evidenced by the presence of primitive reflexes, the underdevelopment of postural reflexes, and various other neurological markers.

 

Children with NDD often struggle with attention, balance, and coordination—areas that should function automatically. When reflexes have not integrated or emerged at the appropriate developmental stages, it can impact the overall development of how the brain functions.

 

Each child is unique, and NDD affects each child in different ways. Some of the most common symptoms include:

 

Emotional instability and behavior problems

 

Poor hand-eye coordination

 

Difficulties in school, especially in reading, writing, and math

 

Anxiety and stress

 

Hypersensitivity

 

ADD/ADHD

 

Motion sickness

 

Decreased immune system

 

Inflexibility

 

 

The NDD therapy program works developmentally, addressing the lowest point where breakdown has occurred and building from there. Each child has their own developmental pattern, and our approach looks at each child individually to determine the best integration program. Our therapy does not label children, and we do not use medications. Instead, we employ research-based methods and exercises that help the reflexes function properly. Exercises that mimic the patterns of reflexes during integration can facilitate normal developmental progression, allowing the Central Nervous System to mature and focus on higher learning skills.

 

Common improvements seen through our program include:

 

Coordination and balance

 

Attention

 

Confidence

 

Reading, writing, and math skills

 

Behavioral issues

 

Social skills

 

Anxiety

 

Emotion regulation

 

Dyslexia symptoms

 

Overall maturity

 

 

The children I have had the pleasure of working with are making astonishing changes that will set them up for a successful future. I am hopeful to help your child reach their fullest potential!
