Unlock the physical blueprint of learning and behavior with this groundbreaking guide to neuro-motor development.

Why do some bright children struggle with reading, writing, concentration, or emotional regulation? In this fully updated edition, world-renowned expert Sally Goddard Blythe (Director of The Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology) reveals the missing link: the profound connection between early physical development and cognitive success.

Reflexes, Movement, Learning & Behaviour offers an accessible, science-backed exploration of how retained primitive reflexes can disrupt a child’s ability to learn and thrive. From the classroom to the clinic, this essential resource bridges the gap between physiology and psychology, providing parents, educators, and therapists with the tools to identify and overcome neuro-motor immaturity.
