Develop more of a structured framework for working with children with developmental delay.
Understand ADHD and ASD and how primitive reflex integration assists with these conditions.
Learn practical techniques for assisting children with neuro-developmental delay.

about the presenters
Jamie Taylor
Jamie Taylor was born in Palmerston North, Manawatu, New Zealand. He trained at the European School of Osteopathy, (ESO) in Maidstone, England, 1990-1994.
During his final year he began to enjoy working with newborns and pregnant mother’s. He very quickly began to see the importance of taking the trauma out of childbirth for mothers and postpartum distress in babies. When he graduated he worked in London at the Osteopathic Centre for children where this conviction grew. In 1997 he began assisting on the undergraduate Osteopathic technique classes at the ESO and clinical supervision in the undergraduate children's clinic, where he stayed until he moved back to NZ in 2005. He moved back to New Zealand in November 2005 after completing his masters in Osteopathy.
Jamie’s practice is predominantly focused on babies and pregnancy and postnatal mothers.
Regulation: Jamie Taylor is a member of the register of Osteopaths in New Zealand and the society of Osteopaths New Zealand.
Lynsey Taylor
Lynsey graduated as an Occupational Therapist in 2004 in the UK. She is married to Jamie and together they have 2 boys. Lynsey works in private practice with learning needs and developmentally delayed children in the office and school setting. She trains teachers and resources them to work with these children. She largely utilises a school based program called Smart moves. She utilises the reflex assessment, developmental assessment tools and exercise, movement program on a daily basis. She has also taught post-graduate level seminars in Australia and New Zealand for 5 years.
Jamie and Lynsey have a pragmatic, clinically informed, research based yet informal, practical and natural presentation + approach to teaching. In this course, they will integrate standard paediatric manual therapy with movement and exercises specifically tailored for integrating motor function and integrating primitive reflexes to allow the course participants to be able to utilise the knowledge and skills presented straight away in their clinic environment.
