Introductory Online NDS Course (in czech language)

The introductory course focuses on providing a foundational understanding of the theory of Neuro-Developmental Stimulation (NDS), its concepts, and the proper identification of disorders resulting from the persistence of primary reflexes or poor integration of sensory organ functions. Participants will also be introduced to basic tests for persistent primary reflexes.

This course is particularly recommended for (special) educators, occupational therapists, speech therapists, physiotherapists, yoga instructors, and parents.

Course Content:

• Introduction to NDS and its basic principles

• Everything is interconnected – primary reflexes, sensory integration, psychomotor development, learning, behavior, and concentration

• Risk factors for the persistence of primary reflexes

• The importance of movement in the first year of life, supporting psychomotor development, and preventing the persistence of primary reflexes

• The effects of persistent primary reflexes on learning, behavior, and concentration

• Sensory-sensitive integration – what it is

• Hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity to sensory perceptions

• Identifying the roots of difficulties – how to recognize persistent primary reflexes through a child’s behavior and movements

• Understanding creates space for respect and trust
