Book Description

ADHD & DYSLEXIA MIGHT RATHER BE VIEWED AS A FAULTY PROCESS THAN A CONDITION. Research in the growing field of neuroscience shows that for our brains, there is really very little difference between controlling thoughts and controlling movements. And so it turns out that cosmonauts and children with learning difficulties may have much in common. It appears that the brains of children with learning difficulties, for some reason, do not process information about the force of gravity very well. This can result in learning problems because, for the brain to work optimally, it has to give priority to the relationship between the body and gravity. Impaired functionality of the vestibular system has been found to delay milestones and have a negative impact on a child's overall development whether it be physical, emotional, social and intellectual. This ground breaking book takes a fresh approach to: delayed milestones low muscle tone poor sensory integration difficulties establishing laterality and hand dominance ADHD dyslexia anxiety disorders speech and language delays and fear of the dark. In GRAVITY Oleg, Victoria and Melodie bring their decades of research working with children who experienced learning and behavioural difficulties and apply massage, movement and traditional games as medicine to stimulate the gradual unfolding and maturation of the higher centres of the brain and cognitive processes.
