Neurodevelopment Intro

Brain stem, midbrain and cortex development and problems

Toni Hager, originator of Kids Can Learn website, presents a thorough overview of brain and central nervous system, identifying stages of development, and pinpointing what learning and behavior problems result when the spinal cord, brain stem, midbrain and cortex fail to properly develop. Visual, auditory, tactile, and proprioceptive competence, as well as mobility, manual, and language proficiency are affected.

What is often perceived as learning and behavioral problems in school have neurological roots that can often be remedied naturally, targeting the source of dysfunction.

ADHD – Medicate? Remediate?

Focus on root causes -- then use body-brain exercises to resolve problems

Rather than treating ADHD symptoms, neurodevelopmental specialists like Toni Hager, http://www.kidscanlearn.net/kids.htm identify, address and remedy parts of the sensory motor system causing the learning and behavioral problems. The body/brain strengthens itself using specific exercises that mature the visual, auditory, tactile, motor, vestibular, cerebellar or other systems causing the challenges.
