Lean into Learning

Being ready for reading, ready for writing and, most of all, ready for focusing on a full day’s curriculum involves fundamental connections within our brain. A few weeks in, if you’ve noticed a child who struggles with sitting at their desk or paying attention to their teacher, there may be a link to immature reflexes.

Thrive will be hosting a one-day workshop on October 3rd to explore how we can apply rhythmic movement in therapy to address learning, emotional and behavioral difficulties. We’ll take a look at the brain connections critical to learning and the impact of immature reflexes on outcomes in the classroom. The course, ideal for parents, teachers and educational support staff, explores how reflex integration work supports posture, reading skills and visual tracking, as well as the fine motor skills required for writing. We’ll also cover how our reflexes contribute to a sense of calm and emotional stability as our students interact with each other in a new environment.

This is one of our most popular workshops and offers hands-on opportunities where participants model therapeutic exercises and learn how to put key movement patterns into practice both within a classroom setting and as part of a family’s daily routine. This fall, let’s create supportive habits and foster confidence in our children for a wonderful school year ahead.
