Neurodevelopmental Therapists
Development of the Brain and Central Nervous System
We provide support to children and adults with a formal diagnosis of neurodivergence, those who are self-identified, and individuals who believe this therapeutic approach may be of benefit. Neurodevelopmental delay can present with a wide spectrum of features, ranging from subtle to significantly impairing. These may include difficulties with emotional regulation, anxiety, disordered sleep, obsessive–compulsive behaviours, and other associated challenges.
Neuro developmental delay refers to an immaturity in the functioning of the central nervous system, often indicated by the persistence of primitive reflexes.
Primitive reflexes are automatic, involuntary movements that develop in the womb. They play a vital role in the birthing process and support survival and early development during the first year of life.
Under typical development, these reflexes are naturally inhibited (or “switched off”) by around 12 months of age. When they remain active beyond this stage, they can interfere with the normal maturation of the nervous system.
As a result, individuals may experience a range of challenges.
Means your brain works differently from the majority, leading to unique perspectives, strengths and challenges in areas like social interaction, learning and sensory processing.
