Why Kinected Moves?
At Kinected Moves, NDT (Neuro-Developmental Therapy) is delivered through the INPP Method which was developed at the Institute of Neuro-Physiological Psychology at Chester, England. The method specialises in identifying and treating physical factors underlying specific learning difficulties, under achievement and behaviour problems.
Following a detailed assessment, the child or young person will be a given an individual programme of exercises to carry out at home.
STEPS TO ACCESSING AN INPP PROGRAMME
The six elements of the INPP METHOD
Screening Questionnaire
A no fee questionnaire to be completed.
Initial Consultation
A one hour appointment to discuss the child's suitability for the programme.
Assessment
Assessment of gross and fine motor coordination, balance, primitive and postural reflexes, eye movements and visual perception.
Selection of Programme
Selection and demonstration of all exercises for use at home.
Report Reading
A follow up appointment to discuss the findings and educational implications of the diagnostic assessment

About Anne-Marie
Welcome
Hello, I’m Anne-Marie.
I am a wife, a mother to two young men and a grandmother to two loveable children.
After teaching in the primary sector for thirty years, I retired and became fully qualified and insured as a neuro-developmental therapist.
I received my training at the Institute of Neuro-Physiological Psychology in Chester, England in July 2020. I set up practice in Derry, Northern Ireland where I live, as Kinected Moves.
Being involved in the education of young minds has been my life’s work to date and when I discovered neuro-developmental therapy, and the INPP Method in particular, I knew the direction I needed to follow. Through all my years in the classroom, I encountered children struggling with learning difficulties and as the years passed the number of children requiring support with their learning increased, as did the conditions that were preventing them from learning.
It did not occur to me that there may be a physical solution to these problems that would help to lift the barriers to development and learning. Learning about retained reflexes, developmental delay and neuro-motor immaturity and how all of these contribute to learning difficulties has been a “light bulb” journey. I now want to let parents and carers and families know that there is light at the end of a tunnel of frustration with schoolwork, behaviour or anxieties.
