Why Auditory Processing Matters for Speech

Your ears do more than just hear – they also help coordinate muscles for speech production.

🧠 More than 100 muscles work together for clear speech, and 50+ facial muscles allow us to express emotions. But when auditory processing is affected—whether due to anxiety, stroke, trauma, or developmental delays—this system can become disrupted, leading to unclear speech and reduced facial expression.

The Tomatis® Method may help retrain this connection, improving speech clarity and communication.

Module 2 of the INPP practitioner course focuses on hands-on diagnostic assessment, giving trainees the opportunity to practise testing motor skills, reflexes and perception in a supervised setting while continuing their background reading and casework.

Feedback from participants highlights how this stage deepens understanding of the work:
“The training has really strengthened my conviction about the importance of this work.”

For practitioners, this experience not only develops technical assessment skills but also reinforces the impact that careful neurological assessment can have for children and adults seeking support.

📍 One-Day Teachers’ Course – Implementing Neuromotor Readiness for Learning
Friday, 5 June '26 10am – 4pm

More children are entering school under-achieving or identified with Special Educational Needs (SEN).

Teachers are often left asking:
Why is this happening?
What are we missing?
What practical support can we actually implement?

One factor that can interfere with classroom success is immature motor development. If physical foundations such as balance, coordination and postural control are still developing, children may struggle with attention, handwriting, reading, emotional regulation and classroom participation.

This one-day INPP teacher training course provides practical tools to:
• Screen for neuromotor readiness for learning
• Identify signs of motor immaturity
• Implement a daily classroom movement programme
• Support the physical basis for learning across the school year

This is not theory alone. It is practical, structured and designed specifically for school settings. Book here >>> https://bookwhen.com/inpp-uk =ev-s73gg-20260605100000

Did you know that you can boost your learning potential with the Tomatis Method?

The Tomatis Method, a unique approach using modified music, may help you unlock your learning potential, especially if you are struggling to stay focussed or retain information.

Developed by French doctor Alfred Tomatis, this method involves listening to specially designed music that targets specific frequencies to stimulate the ear and brain.

Studies suggest that the Tomatis Method can improve attention, concentration, and memory, making it easier to absorb and recall information.

If you're seeking a drug-free way to enhance your learning abilities, the Tomatis Method could be the key to your success and I'd be really happy to have a chat with you to see if this is something that could help you.

Thinking about returning to INPP licentiate status?

If you previously trained in the INPP method and would like to return to licentiate status, the first step is attending supervision.

Supervision offers a valuable opportunity to revisit the methodology, discuss cases, and refresh your understanding of the INPP approach to reflex integration. It also ensures that practitioners returning to practice are working in line with current standards and professional guidelines.

INPP licentiates commit to ongoing professional development, regular supervision, and working within a clearly defined neurodevelopmental framework. This structure is one of the reasons the INPP method is recognised internationally as a professional and carefully regulated approach to reflex integration.

Supervision dates are listed on the INPP website calendar for practitioners who would like to reconnect with the method and re-establish licentiate status.

For practitioners returning after a break, supervision is an important step in ensuring that your work remains supported, consistent, and aligned with current best practice in neurodevelopmental assessment and reflex integration.

RGM Level 2 is now open for booking, taking place in Manchester on 30 and 31 May 2026.

This two-day course is designed for practitioners who have already completed Level 1 and want to progress towards full certification as an RGM facilitator.

Book here https://www.ronniegardinermethod.co.uk/training

Across the two days you will explore six additional movements, memory and sequencing exercises, theory and practice development, guided visualisation, rhythm-based walking tasks and a full chore score combining all 13 movements. The course also includes a module on RGM training for children and an individual presentation with constructive feedback.

Participants receive the Ground Course certificate signed by Ronnie Gardiner and gain access to the expanded set of colour-coded movements. Level 2 is a key step for those wishing to use RGM confidently in therapeutic, educational or community settings.

Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists, SENCOs and specialist teachers – are you looking for a fresh, motivating way to engage autistic pupils?

The Ronnie Gardiner Method (RGM) combines rhythm, movement and multi-sensory input in a structured way that children enjoy. It’s practical, strengths-based, and backed by research.
Training is available here in the UK – giving professionals the chance to add RGM to their toolkit of inclusive interventions.

During Module 2, students spend five intensive days learning how to carry out full INPP diagnostic assessments. The week focuses on practical testing skills, clinical observation and building the confidence needed to work directly with clients.

As one participant shared:

“Thank you Pauline for such an informative and interesting week and for presenting it in a well-paced, fun and accessible way. The support for each other was tangible.”

For many trainees, this week is where theory becomes real-world practice, strengthening both skills and professional confidence.

Children learn with their bodies before they learn with textbooks.
Skills such as posture, balance, coordination and motor control underpin attention, handwriting, reading and emotional regulation. When these physical foundations are immature, classroom learning can feel overwhelming.

The INPP One-Day Teachers’ Course teaches educators how to:
• Recognise signs of neuromotor delay
• Screen for readiness for learning
• Implement a daily movement-based programme
• Support whole-class developmental progress

This course provides practical strategies that can be implemented immediately within school settings.
Manual required for attendance (ordered separately).
