Hemispheres Movement Balance and Learning: Screening Tests and Movement Programmes
The Hemispheres Movement, Balance and Learning is a programme that is based on sound clinical research and experience. It offers non clinicians some skills to help identify core neuromotor weaknesses that if left undetected can begin to really impact on a child's learning. Neuromotor weaknesses such as retention of key primitive reflexes (ATNR), evidence of asymmetry that can lead to immature laterality, crossing midline, spatial awareness and balance.
Whilst these skills impact on physical development, they play a key role in the integration of the brain for thinking and learning. The movement programme is one with a difference. The 6-weeks programme is different for each age group. It is a structured programme that inherently offers consistency, challenge and repetition, the ingredients needed by the brain to create real changes in how the brain and body communicate.
Hemispheres Movement Balance and Learning: Screening Tests and Movement Programmes
Based on over 20 years of clinical experience and up to date research, this valuable resource has been developed to offer schools a simple but effective screening tool and 6 week movement programme they can be confident will not only make a change to a child's physical skills but also improve the legibility of handwriting and writing speed.
The programme is easy to administer, you can get started straight away and really make a difference to the children in your school.
In school age children, where some aspects of learning are a challenge, it is really important for schools to be able to identify the physical skills that are likely to be impacting on a child's ability to make progress. This programme offers schools the ability to screen early neuromotor weaknesses.
Early detection can identify those children who are at 'risk', the accompaning movement programme can then be recommended to help address some of the children's needs proactively. For those whose needs are greater, the programme can be used to support learning whilst waiting for specialist occupational therapy support.
The two different programmes offer:

Does the programme work?
47 children completed the initial study at Yateley Manor School in Hampshire. The children were assessed pre and post treatment, controlled groups were used to demonstrate the sensitivity of the tool and the degree of change following treatment. The movement programme was completed at home under the guidance of the parents, daily for 6 weeks. The programme takes approximately 10 -15 minutes a day. All the children made statistically significant improvement following treatment, greater change was observed in the boys compared to the girls especially in stability, spatial awareness and posture. Both boys and girls showed statistically significant improvement in balance, handwriting legibility and speed. Studies are ongoing.
