Gifted children often excel intellectually, yet many experience sensory overload, emotional sensitivity, and inconsistent academic performance. Could retained primary reflexes be part of the reason? This article explores the link between giftedness and neurodevelopmental immaturity, offering insight into how even highly intelligent children can be affected by reflexes that never fully integrated.

Children with developmental dysphasia often struggle with speech, memory, and coordination – despite having normal hearing and vision. This article explores how retained primary reflexes such as the Moro or TLR may contribute to their difficulties, and how targeted support can improve outcomes.

Dysgraphia is a specific learning disorder that affects handwriting, coordination, and the ability to process visual and auditory input. This article explores how retained primary reflexes – such as the Moro, ATNR, or Palmar reflex – may underlie these difficulties. Learn why some children can't keep up with writing tasks and how neuro-developmental support can make a difference.

Visual stress can make reading a frustrating experience. Children with visual stress may see letters "dancing," experience eye strain, or avoid reading altogether. This condition is often linked to persistent primary reflexes — especially the Moro reflex — and an overloaded visual or vestibular system. In this article, we explain the symptoms, the role of reflexes, and what can be done to provide long-term relief beyond coloured overlays.

Primary reflexes form the neurological foundation for learning, movement, attention, and emotional stability. When these reflexes persist beyond infancy, they can interfere with school skills like reading, writing, sitting still, and concentration. This article explains how persistent reflexes affect children in school and why Neuro-developmental Stimulation (NDS) offers a powerful solution for long-term improvement.

Support during the school years plays a vital role in shaping a child’s motivation, self-esteem, and social skills. This article explores the key developmental milestones in younger and middle school age, offering practical tips for parents and educators to foster healthy learning habits, emotional resilience, and creativity in children aged 6 to 12.

The school-age years are marked by major advances in motor skills, language, and social development. As movement becomes more refined and friendships more meaningful, children also begin to develop a clearer sense of morality and independence. This article explores how to support healthy growth during this formative stage of life.

Some children need extra support at school due to learning disabilities, delayed development, health issues, or giftedness. This article explains how the Czech education system addresses special educational needs (SEN), how support measures are organised, and when to contact an educational counselling centre (PPP/SPC).

This article presents the results of a dissertation on the use of Neuro-Developmental Stimulation (NDS) in special education. The research highlights the prevalence of persistent primary reflexes in children aged 5 to 8 and demonstrates the effectiveness of NDS as an intervention method. The findings show that NDS is a valuable tool for special education teachers, supporting children's motor, cognitive, and behavioural development — especially when implemented early. The stud
