Sense Ability

Sense Ability is a neuro developmental sensory integration programme widely researched and further developed by The Sound Learning Centre, London. 

It helps identify and correct motor and perceptual problems. It is sometimes referred to as a ‘reflex inhibition’ programme as it takes the client systematically through the different stages of development. 

The aim is to inhibit the primitive reflexes that are still present and cause the emergence of the appropriate postural reflexes for normal development to occur.

Usually, the primitive reflexes develop in the womb, are present at birth and gradually inhibit during the first twelve months as the infant begins to move and grow. They are replaced by the postural reflexes which cope with the demands of a gravity-based environment. If the primitive reflexes remain, then the postural reflexes are prevented from full development, pointing to a central nervous system dysfunction.

Clusters of retained Primitive or underdeveloped Postural Reflexes in the body indicate neuro-developmental difficulties which may impede efficient development of motor control, eye function, eye-hand co-ordination and perceptual skills. Frustration, loss of self-esteem, hyperactivity, hypersensitivity and awkward movement and posture may appear as a developing individual struggles with daily tasks, while family and teachers may remain unaware of an underlying problem.

Neuro-developmental difficulties are often associated with problems during pregnancy, the birth process and early development, nuro development or accidents, trauma or sicknesses later in life. 

A fully supported 6 week programme to support and recap the developmental stages to help primitive reflexes inhibit through a fun movement based programme.

Support and any necessary equipment will be provided to suit the individual need.
