Neuro Dynamix is a gross and fine motor intervention programme that gets to the heart of underlying issues that so many learners with barriers to learning experience.
It is designed as an extensive and effective resource for those involved in remediating problems with writing and reading.
Neuro Dynamix is a school-based intervention programme in support of the SBST, as well as a home-based intervention programme for the home-schooling community.
Neuro Dynamix is for:
- children who were NOT school ready
- retained learners with a SNA-1 (Support Needs Assessment Form)
- progressed learners with a SNA-1
- learners who already have an ISP (Individual Support Plan) but need more differentiated support
- learners with barriers to learning who need an ISP and who have not entered the remedial ‘system’ yet.
- passionate teachers and parents who want to become masters at removing barriers to learning — effectively and permanently
- schools that want to develop the capacity of their SBST
- governing bodies that want to invest in their teachers to support learners who are failing to progress
- businesses that want to make a difference by uplifting the youth of South Africa.

- adequate level of literacy
