Bilateral Integration

This programme was devised by Mrs Sheila Dobie OBE and is designed to develop excellent coordination, balance and postural control allowing for appropriate development and enhancement of sensory systems and the establishment of moving and thinking skills which lead to multi-processing and multi-tasking abilities.

Johansen Individualised Auditory Stimulation (Johansen IAS)*

This intervention programme was devised by Dr Kjeld Johansen, a Danish teacher and psychologist. Johansen IAS is an individually-tailored listening programme that stimulates auditory processing skills associated with speech, language, communication, concentration, attention and aspects of working memory.
*Andy is a registered Johansen IAS Provider.

Reflex Inhibition/Stimulation

Dr Peter Blythe founded The Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology (INPP)* in 1975. Dr Blythe’s work specialised in the assessment and remediation of retained primitive reflexes beyond the first 6 – 12 months of life and the absence or underdevelopment of postural reflexes by age 3 ½ years. A series of developmental exercises known as the INPP Method have been devised and used successfully for many years since and Andy is an individual who is able to provide The INPP Method.
*Andy is not currently an INPP Licentiate.
