If you feel there must be a way forward for your child, but you don’t know where to start, the weight of that uncertainty can be overwhelming. Often, families have already tried various supports and interventions, yet find themselves wondering: “What are we missing?”
At Map & Compass, we look at development through a specialised neuro-developmental lens to identify foundational gaps in development that may be hindering progress.
The Bottom-Up Approach ⬆️
We look at the foundations of the nervous system and determine if there are areas of development that can be given a “second chance.” By addressing neuromotor immaturity and auditory processing challenges, we create individually designed programmes that support the brain’s neuroplasticity (its ability to change), allowing the brain and body to work together more efficiently and in line with optimal patterns of development.
When these gaps in the foundations are strengthened, the brain doesn’t have to work as hard just to manage everyday tasks. This ensures the child's “neurological cup” is not in a constant state of overflow, making life feel easier and less overwhelming for them.
Specialist Support on the Causeway Coast 📍
Map & Compass is a specialised practice led by Tori Sheppard, a qualified INPP Licentiate, Johansen IAS, and RGM practitioner,
The work focuses on:
✨ Reflex Integration: Addressing physical factors underlying learning, attention, anxiety, emotional and sensory regulation, and coordination.
✨ Auditory Processing: Supporting how the brain processes what the ears hear, which can affect areas of attention, speech/language, behaviour, and coordination.
✨ Bi-lateral Integration: Strengthening the brain-body connection.
✨ Specialist Educational & Learning Advice: Navigating the path to academic progress.
Our mission is to help families find the most productive direction. We are here to help you set a course towards HOPE.
