| Description |
Participants of this MNRI ® course will attend all 24 hours and satisfactorily participate in both the course
discussion and hands-on supervised practice. In the course participants will be introduced to the information
about the links between proprioceptive and cognitive systems, about priority role of proprioceptive-vestibular
system for creating the basis for establishing gravity, grounding and stability for the optimal work of cognitive
functions. They will be presented to procedures of Assessment for primary reflex patterns that serve the
development and maturation of the proprioceptive and vestibular systems, and also Re-patterning
techniques and exercises for these reflex patterns necessary to create a sufficient neurophysiological basis
for development of different cognitive skills – visual and auditory, and analytical-synthesizing (generalizing).
Development and maturation of the group of reflexes concerned with proprioceptive-vestibular system lead
to a possibility for the development of conscious postural and motor control, is the basis for the development
of links between motor coordination and cognitive inner control. This workshop will offer examples of
techniques, games and activities to make the integration sessions using the MNRI ® exercises interesting
and motivating for children. The Proprioceptive-Cognitive Integration course can be used with children and
adults with developmental deficits; motor and speech delays; space-time disorientation, decoding and
modeling and manual “mapping” problems; and, as a stress release program for professionals who used to
intellectual intense work. Course participants will also learn about the assessment of primary and natural
movements and reflexes, as well as, specific exercises to integrate neurodevelopment delays.
