About RMT:
If you know a child with learning, sensory, motor and/or emotional challenges, Rhythmic Movement Training (RMT) can make a world of difference. Although RMT is beneficial for all ages and skill levels, it is particularly helpful for those with sensory processing disorders, ADD/ADHD, Autism, Aspergers, developmental delays, speech delays, dyslexia, anxiety, depression, cerebral palsy, handwriting issues, and other learning, emotional and motor coordination challenges. The Rhythmic Movements are gentle rocking and reflex integration movements that stimulate neural pathways and promote ease of movement, emotional balance, relaxation and learning.
Parents, OTs and specialists are seeing the following results with children doing the rhythmic movements regularly:
• increased emotional calm/fewer outbursts
• increased ability to focus and do school work
• improved self-esteem, posture and stamina
• less anxiety
• better ability to sleep
• improved fine and gross motor skills
• less impulsivity
• improved speech development
