Welcome to Unlock Learning and Health
Providing answers and help for children and adults

At Unlock Learning and Health, we look for underlying reasons why a client is experiencing academic, emotional, behavioural, sensory or physical difficulties.
We are passionate about child development and the body-brain connection. Our aim is to help all clients improve functioning so that they can reach their fullest potential!

Who can we help?

Most of our clients are children with Neuromotor Immaturity (NMI). These are kids with immature central nervous systems. Essentially, they are experiencing a disconnect between their body and brain.

When clients first come to us, they don't know that NMI is what's really causing their challenges. They come to us because they have learning disabilities (including Dyslexia), ADHD, anxiety, emotional dysregulation and Dyspraxia. But these disorders and difficulties are just symptoms of NMI. The real problem is immaturity in the nervous system and dysfunction between the senses (usually vision, auditory, vestibular and proprioception).

Neuromotor Immaturity also looks like;

  • Any diagnosis (ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ODD)
  • Attention and focus issues
  • Balance and coordination problems
  • Bed-wetting
  • Behaviour concerns
  • Clumsiness
  • Learning difficulties (including Dyslexia)
  • Low confidence and self-esteem
  • Motion sickness
  • Poor listening skills
  • Poor organisation skills
  • Problems with fine motor and gross motor skills
  • Sensory sensitivities and processing disorders​
  • Sleep disturbance
  • Slow processing of information
  • Speech delay and articulation issues
  • Trouble sitting still and controlling impulses
If your child is experiencing any of the above symptoms, complete a FREE screening questionnaire to see if NMI is the root cause and if further investigations are recommended.

We help adults too!

We don't just help kids. Adults can experience challenges from unaddressed nervous system immaturity too.
NMI can show up in adults as;
  • Agoraphobia
  • Anxiety
  • Balance and coordination problems
  • Learning difficulties
  • Panic disorders
An adult screening questionnaire can help identify if this is behind your challenges.

​The main therapy we use to address Neuromotor Immaturity is Neurodevelopmental therapy.
