The EASIE PROGRAMME
EASIE stands for Exercise And Sound In Education.

It will be of interest to all those involved in health and education, parents and professionals. The programme comprises six sets of simple exercises and suggested music for listening.

Each set of exercises, and music selected for listening, are used for one week so the programme takes six weeks. The exercises themselves serves as a guide to a child’s stage of neuro-physiological development. They provide a very early indication of difficulties & active support. The aim being to prevent later learning and behavioural problems. They provide the opportunity for children to use the movements necessary to pass through the important stages needed for the body and brain to reach readiness for learning. They precede the work done for integration. The exercises do not harm those who have reached each milestone but help with consolidation and automaticity. They are vital for those who have missed early stages or who have regressed for various reasons.

Improvements are noticed each time the programmes are used. They can be followed through each half-term for the whole year or interleaved with more outdoor activities in the summer term. They can also be used as warm up activities in P.E. lessons.

The sound element is based on Sound Therapy Principles and helps to develop hearing and listening skills. It is possible and desirable to incorporate it into everyday routines. It helps to develop healthy attitudes to regular exercise and relaxation. They benefit all children.
