While problems with posture, balance, and motor control are often present in children with specific learning difficulties, they are not always the primary cause. Receptive Listening keeps child attuned to the world around us, to what’s going on at home, at work, or in the classroom. Expressive Listening is listening that is directed within. Primitive reflexes provide some of the earliest developmental markers of maturity in the control of balance, posture, motor skills, and the functioning of the central nervous system (CNS). Clinical assessment using the INPP method is carried out on an individual basis and uses a range of tests to assess static balance; dynamic balance; soft signs of neurological dysfunction; cerebellar involvement; dysdiadochokinesia; primitive reflexes; postural reflexes; laterality; oculomotor functioning; visual perception; writing and copying; Draw-a-Person Test; and audiometric assessment.
