Upcoming Workshops:
Children with Challenges: Movement Development and Reflex Integration
In Guelph on April 18-21, 2010
facilitated by Dr. Svetlana Masgutova
Provides a basis for creating individualized programs for children with developmental challenges. It examines the symptoms of each challenge, how it would look, and how to address the reflexes based on Svetlana’s most current research. Learn how muscles, structure, and movement coordination is affected by each challenge. Understand the specific reflexes that are commonly found to be non-integrated in each challenge.
In the course Children with Challenges: Movement Development and Reflex Integration, participants will l
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.
