Helping to address some of the factors that can underlie
Specialists in identifying and addressing physical factors that may contribute to specific learning difficulties, under-achievement and behavioural problems
INPP has pioneered research into the effects of neuro-motor immaturity on learning and behaviour.
Every child Is born with a set of primitive reflexes (sometimes known as "survival reflexes"), which should be inhibited or controlled by a higher part of the brain during the first year of life.
If these reflexes persist beyond the first year they can interfere with subsequent motor development, visual functioning needed for reading, eye-hand co-ordination needed for writing, and perceptual skills. They provide evidence of immaturity in the functioning of the central nervous system which can act as barriers to learning. They can also lead to behavioural problems such as concentration difficulties, frustration, poor impulse control, and under-achievement.
The INPP Method has been developed to identify underlying factors and to offer a completely drug-free and non-invasive approach, which can help children overcome these problems and give them the tools with which to succeed.
INPP was established in 1975 and since that time has helped many thousands of children in many countries worldwide.

Disclaimer
Since its foundation in 1975, INPP has been an apolitical body dedicated to the development of screening, assessment and effective intervention programmes. It does not reflect or support the ideological, religious or political beliefs of any of its current or former associates.
INPP continues to be active in carrying out research based on the methods it has developed. A list of peer reviewed published research to date based on the theory and aspects of the method can be found HERE
There a number of organisations which offer various types of neuro-developmental therapy including aspects of methods of assessment and remediation originally developed at INPP. Only persons or organisations listed as being Licentiates or National Principals of INPP provide the INPP programme according to INPP training and professional practise protocols.
