The GymbaROO – KindyROO neuro-developmental program centres on rebuilding, strengthening and consolidating the underpinning structures which form the basis for moving, learning, behaviour and cognitive functioning.
A trained GymbaROO – KindyROO consultant will:
- Identify the neurological immaturities affecting a child’s physical, social, emotional and/or academic functioning
- Design a personalised home program to improve the sensory, motor and perceptual obstacles to development
- Provide very specific developmental exercises including tactile, movement, vestibular, visual and auditory practices. These aim to train the brain to process and manage multi-sensory input, assist the functioning of the motor system and develop perception, all of which lie at the heart of learning and behaviour
Nutrition and health may also be addressed. The assessment may take up to three hours. A case history is completed before the initial appointment.

A GymbaROO – KindyROO consultant may also recommend the following therapies:
