BUILDING BETTER LEARNERS
The Snapp Approach
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
In this book, you will find information on how you can help your child be better equipped to successfully respond to academic instruction as well as increase his level of skill in all activities—including sports. Snapp based his work on the belief that replication of genetic developmental movements and sensations in a matching and controlled environment allows the nervous system to return to an earlier time period, scan its own circuits, find the problems, and reprogram itself. The sensory-motor activities as presented in this book, and when used in a controlled environment, can fill in most sensory-motor gaps that children may possess and aid in reinforcing natural development. It is the intent of the authors to preserve as much as possible the teachings of Ed Snapp, who saw the potential of using these activities to enhance the abilities of all elementary school age children.
