In the last decade particularly in inner cities like Dublin more and more children are being raised in cramped conditions like apartments or crowded nursery schools with limited space.
This has impacted on the child’s natural need to move and crawl and explore their new world. Critical brain development steps have been missed that later impact on their ability to learn in the classroom. Teachers now have to face the consequences of these problems making it more difficult for them to teach.
Do some of these problems sound familiar?
Jack: The wriggler who fidgets in class and is easily distracted
Rosie: She can’t or ‘won’t’ listen to or follow instructions
Alex: The verbally bright pupil whose written work, organization and concentration are weak
Holly: The immature, impulsive child who gets into difficulties in the classroom and socially
Ten Gems for the Brain is based on research into how the brain and body work together developmentally. It is a structured programme that works systematically through the developmental stages and addresses learning difficulties through targeting the underlying physical weaknesses in sensory processing.
This one-day international course introduces the participants to the Move to Learn – 10 Gems for the Brian developmental movement programme. It provides participants with the knowledge to run class or individual sessions using the movements, which you learn and practice on the day. The course covers:
- How a child’s early years experiences can affect their posture, movement and ability to learn
- The role of primitive reflexes and how their continued presence can undermine a child’s progress
- How crawling, rolling and other simple movements can contribute to better learning and behaviour
- Some reasons why the children mentioned above might be behaving how they are and what can be done to help
- Evidence of improved results in schools after following a movement programme, with case studies and examples
- Modifications for specific needs/ school populations
It can work very effectively to maximize learning potential and to improve the performance of those students who are doing’ O.K.’ but should be doing better

I am the principle Occupational Therapist at Advance Occupational Therapy in Castle Hill Sydney. I use Move to Learn with many of my clients for lateralisation, improving concentration, sensory processing issues to name a few. It’s a great movement sequence that all children can benefit from.

Louise was working with a little boy , 7 yrs old. Struggling with reading and writing and great difficulty with L/R discrimination and lots of reversals with reading and writing. b/d and q/p and then did unilateral crawling for 2 weeks- he stopped doing reversals. He did the crawling for 5 days a week.
