Learning and behavioural problems can show up as difficulty concentrating, restlessness, problems at school, clumsiness, or emotional dysregulation. These complaints occur in children, but also in adults.
Often, the causeis not only in behaviour or motivation, but in the way the brain processes information.
The role of motor skills and brain development
Brain areas involved in movement, balance and timing play an important role in learning and behaviour. When these areas function less well, this can lead to:
- learning difficulties
- difficulty planning and organising
- balance and coordination problems
- sensitivity to stimuli
Movement forms an important foundation for learning. The brain develops partly through motor stimuli.
Primitive reflexes and development
In young children, primitive reflexes should be present. These normally disappear as the brain matures. When these reflexes remain active, this may indicate a developmental delay.
This can affect:
- concentration
- behaviour
- motor skills
- self-control
Assessing reflexes provides insight into where development may need support.
