NEURO MOTOR IMMATURITY & INPP THERAPY
WHAT IS NMI?
Neuro Motor Immaturity

-
Academic achievement (kids struggle and under achieve in school, struggle to learn to read and write)

OUR APPROACH
INPP Method
The INPP Method is based on over 45 years of pioneering research, expertise and practice which has investigated and helped children to resolve physical factors underlying neuro-developmental, learning and behavioural problems.
​
It is a completely drug-free and non-invasive programme using tailored daily physical exercises to help a child succeed. INPP's proven track record demonstrates how the method can help children to overcome difficulties associated with reading, writing, dyslexia, developmental coordination disorder or Dyspraxia, educational underachievement, poor coordination, behavioural problems and more.
