Books
If you want to know more about primary reflexes and their influence on learning and behavior, you might be interested in one of the books.
The first book "Persistent primary reflexes, a neglected factor in learning and behavior problems" is intended not only for experts but also for the general public. For this reason, I tried to present the issue in the most comprehensible form possible.
The book "Theoretical Foundations of the Neuro-Developmental Stimulation Method" is primarily intended for experts and discusses the scientific findings on which the Neuro-Developmental Stimulation method is based.
The objective of my latest book, "Dyslexia! Or Not?", is to illustrate the impact of persistent primary reflexes on vision development, as well as the relationship between eye movements and coordination, and the symptoms of dyslexia and other reading difficulties.
From February 15 to February 23, 2025, we have spring break.
If you place an order and pay by February 13, the shipment will be sent on the morning of February 14.
Orders placed after February 14 will be shipped on February 24.
Thank you for your understanding!
Dyslexia! Or not?
Reading difficulties can stem from sources other than dyslexia, such as persistent primary reflexes, which can negatively impact eye movement and coordination, resulting in similar symptoms to dyslexia.
For children whose dyslexia symptoms are influenced by persistent primary reflexes, interventions must target inhibiting these reflexes first. Traditional dyslexia interventions may not produce the expected results for such children.
The focus of this book is to explore the impact of persistent primary reflexes on vision development, eye movements, and coordination, and their relationship to dyslexia symptoms and other reading difficulties.
Visual development can be envisioned as a lighthouse, with primary reflexes representing its foundation. To read correctly and smoothly, all the floors of the lighthouse must be in order, creating a stable base for the light (i.e., reading ability) to shine reliably.
Throughout this book, we will examine each floor of the "lighthouse" and explore activities that can improve them gradually. (In Czech)

Persistent primary reflexes, a neglected factor in learning and behavioral problems
The new edition of "Persistent Primary Reflexes, a Neglected Factor in Learning and Behavior Problems" (ISBN 978-80-907369-0-0) is an extended version of the first edition. The book has been significantly expanded, particularly in the section that deals with the child's psychomotor development and the various ways to optimally support it, especially during the first few months after the child's birth. Additionally, there is a new chapter on sensory integration, which explores the connection between persistent primary reflexes and sensory integration. (In Czech)

NDS Active learning - Unlocking Potential through Neuro-Developmental Stimulation
This book explores the role of primary reflexes—innate responses present in infants that play a crucial role in healthy development. These reflexes are designed to naturally fade once their purpose is fulfilled, but
what happens when they persist? Retained primary reflexes can disrupt sensory perception, balance, motor coordination, and learning ability. They may also contribute to challenges such as difficulties in reading
and writing, behaviours mimicking ADD, ADHD, or autism, and even affect gifted individuals by creating hidden barriers to their success.
This book provides a clear, comprehensive guide to understanding primary reflexes, healthy psychomotor development, and the impact of sensoryafferent integration. You’ll also find practical tools, including reflex tests and activities that can be done at home to address sensory-motor challenges.
PhDr. Marja Annemiek Voleman, PhD., born in the Netherlands and now residing in Prague, Czech Republic, is a renowned expert in Neuro-Developmental Stimulation (NDS). This book builds on her earlier work,
Persistent Primary Reflexes – The Overlooked Factor in Learning Disorders (originally published in Czech). Drawing on decades of experience in the field, Dr. Voleman combines scientific insight with practical application, making this book an essential resource for parents, educators, and professionals seeking to unlock the full potential of every child.
Whether you are looking to support children with specific learning difficulties, autism, or simply to improve motor and sensory skills, this book will provide the tools and knowledge you need to make a difference.
Discover how addressing primary reflexes and sensory integration can open new pathways for growth and development!

Theoretical Foundations of the Neuro-Developmental Stimulation Method
The book "Theoretical Foundations of the Neuro-Developmental Stimulation Method" (ISBN 978-80-907369-4-8) builds upon the previous work of the author, which was the second extended edition of "Persistent Primary Reflexes - A Neglected Factor in Learning and Behavior Problems". The focus of this book is to explore the scientific underpinnings of the method of Neuro-Developmental Stimulation, with extensive references to relevant research and publications. (In Czech)

And what do readers say about my books?
I would like to thank you for your books, I read "Persistent Primary Reflexes" about a year ago. Our son, 7 years old, had problems that suggested autism, but after a year of training to remove the primary reflexes, many of the symptoms improved and some problems disappeared completely. I would very much like your book to reach as many parents, therapists and pediatricians as possible.
