Sommario/riassunto

Assessing Neuromotor Readiness for Learning is a substantially revised and expanded edition of a long established INPP training manual that has been consistently proven in practice. The package includes tests for children, a developmental movement programme, and online access to INPP video training materials.Based on the proven INPP model for neuromotor development screening and intervention, which is unique in having been rigorously evaluated in research and practiceExpands and revises an INPP manual which has previously only been available to training
