NDS Active Development
NDS Active Development is a preventative 14-week movement program for preschools. The exercises are based on the psychomotor development of the child and are designed to support the overall development of preschool-aged children.
Neuro-Developmental Stimulation with NDS Active Developmennt can be implemented by professionals such as preschool educators, as well as speech therapists, psychologists, and special education teachers, after they have successfully completed the introductory theoretical course and the advanced practical course NDS Active Development at Cortex Academy.
The program is designed for children aged 3 to 6 years and aims not only to enhance their gross motor skills and coordination but also to systematically work on the inhibition of primary reflexes, which has a positive impact on overall motor and mental development.
I have tried to create exercises that are as playful, fun, and easily applicable to a group of children as possible. To add variety, the exercises are accompanied by a story where children encounter the names of the exercises.
Working with preschool children is most effective when it is done through play and the joy of movement.
