'Child Development in Education Integrating Neuroscience with Education in Policy and Practice' INPP Conference, London UK, October 2015
Hosted by Sally Goddard Blythe, this major conference has outstanding speakers in the fields of neurology, education and policy and will be an important international forum for the exchange of knowledge between different professional disciplines.
The Conference celebrates 40 years since the foundation of The Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology (INPP) in 2015. INPP was established in 1975 as a private research and clinical organisation to research in to the role of Central Nervous System Dysfunction in Specific Learning Difficulties and Anxiety Disorders, and to develop effective methods of screening, assessment and remediation. Methods developed at INPP are now used in over 16 countries throughout the world and have successfully treated thousands of adults and children.
Keynote:
By Charles Njiokiktjien MD. Ph.D. & Wally van Grunsven BA (Ed). The keynote lecture will first present a general framework of the mind grounded in the Brain-Body Entity (B-B E). The B-B E comprises the basic emotional systems (very old in evolutionary terms), which provide the neural basis for normal development, attachment and further social interaction.
Second theme: the development of the instrumental systems of language and praxis development, especially motor disorders and remnants of infantile sicknesses.
Third theme: the neural underpinnings of why children must learn to write and why one should avoid children's premature use of keyboards will be explained. In this context, Mesker's concept of truncal-motor function and the prevention of dysgraphy/handwriting disorders, connected to lateralisation disorders in preschool and early school children will be discussed.
"Disorders of instrumental and basic emotion systems of the mind are related with learning difficulties"
