Retained Primitive Reflexes: What Science Reveals About Their Prevalence in Learning and Motor Disabilities
If your child struggles with coordination, balance, reading, or attention: or if you work with children who face these challenges: there's emerging science that might help explain what's happening. Research is revealing that retained primitive reflexes are far more common than we once thought, and they're significantly connected to both learning and motor difficulties. As advocates for neurodiverse learners, we believe families and professionals deserve to understand this res

Learning and Neuroplasticity: How Science Explains Our Brain's Potential
For too long, we've been told that intelligence is fixed. That some children are simply "smart" while others struggle. That adults can't learn new skills after a certain age. That disabilities define permanent limitations. At SIENS, we know this narrative is not just wrong: it's harmful. And science is proving us right. Neuroplasticity research is revolutionizing how we understand the human brain. It's showing us that our minds are far more adaptable, resilient, and capable t

What Education Could Look Like: Reimagining Schools with Neuroscience and Neuromovement
Picture this: A classroom where children aren't sitting in rigid rows, straining to pay attention to information that doesn't connect with how their brains actually learn. Instead, imagine learning spaces where movement is welcomed, where each child's unique way of processing information is honored, and where the very design of education works with the brain rather than against it. This isn't just wishful thinking. It's what becomes possible when we build education on solid
