The Centre for Neurological Development & Integration (CNDI)
Upcoming Workshop:
Children with Challenges: Movement Development and Reflex Integration
Guelph Turfgrass Institute, University of Guelph
April 18-21, 2010
 |
Present by Dr. Svetlana Masgutova
Founder of the Masgutova Neurosensorimotor
Reflex Integration (MNRI) ™ Method |
Dr. Masgutova is a leader in research on Neurosensorimotor
and Reflex Integration™. Her work facilitates
sensory processing, emotional recovery, motor-physical and
sensory-motor rehabilitation as well as learning and developmental
enrichment.
In the course Children with Challenges: Movement Development and Reflex Integration, participants will
1. Investigate and develop an in-depth
understanding of:
·The primary movement system of genetic motor programs.
·The Psycho-physiological basis of movements and exercises for
children and adults with developmental challenges.
·The explanation of why hypertonic muscles inhibit the development of
a child/adult.
·The Masgutova Method™ Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration process.
·The importance of the development of movement in infancy.
·The psychological and physiological basis of movement strategies and
stages.
2. Review and increase knowledge of the MNRI™ Dynamic and Postural
Reflexes classifications as they relate to children and adults with
challenges.
3. Explain the natural ability for positive change and its effect on
the body structure, postures, movements of the body, and, various
coordination systems.
4.
Develop skills to evaluate the researched reflexes as they relate to
each challenge.
5.
Apply techniques, exercises, games and dance for the structural
integration of the Dynamic and Postural reflexes for each area of
challenge.
6.
Receive supervised hands-on-training to:
·Conduct assessments using the MNRI ™ Method to discover
nonintegrated or immature reflex patterns.
·Develop individual programs using the MNRI ™ Method to balance,
activate and integrate these reflexes
·Explore the possibilities for positive changes in body structure,
posture and movement development
·Apply the MNRI ™ Method to develop individual programs for people
having emotional, motivational and movement challenges.
7.
Demonstrate the appropriate application of the structural
integration of lifelong reflexes in a supervised situation
8.
Evaluate and develop appropriate strategies to incorporate the use
of the reflexes addressed in this course in their daily practice.
This workshop is open to all professionals and families that work with children and adults with challenges
(TBI, Autism, Down Syndrome, CP, ADHD, or other neurological challenges.)
