| Kurzbeschreibung
This book is the most up to date handbook for professionals involved in education and child development on the role of reflexes, posture and motor skills in educational achievement and understanding the source of specific problems with behavior. It explains why early reflexes are important, their functions in early development, effects on learning and behavior if retained and the possible effects on other aspects of development such as posture, balance and motor skills. The INPP Developmental Screening Questionnaire is included together with an explanation on how to use and interpret.
