Movement & Brain Development Course
The US Swim School Association’s Movement and Brain Development course explores the profound impact that movement has on a child’s physical, emotional, and cognitive development. The course delves into the science of sensory processing and brain development, explaining how movement influences brain organization and growth. It introduces the concept of primitive reflexes, their effect on learning, and provides simple warning signs and practical exercises that instructors (in aquatic or gymnastics settings) can use to inhibit these reflexes and foster the development of important postural reflexes. This knowledge equips teachers with the tools to recognize and address developmental milestones and challenges in their students. The course also highlights the growing importance of early movement opportunities like swimming and gymnastics in today’s society.
