Transforming Futures, One Brain at a Time!
Launching this Friday, July 11th, The Brain Development Podcast is your essential guide if you're a parent navigating your child's learning or behavioural challenges. I've been where you are, and through focusing on foundational brain development: integrating primitive reflexes, resetting balance, improving eye alignment, and enhancing auditory processing. witnessed my son's incredible transformation.
Join us as I interview leading doctors and parents to bring you powerful, actionable strategies to unlock your child's full potential and change their trajectory forever. Say goodbye to struggling and discover how to truly empower your child.

Our Learning & Behavioural Development Webinars
Our programmes provides you with an exercise-based, brain-balancing plan which targets the root cause of the issue. We utilise the principles of the Melillo Method TM which focuses on changing behaviour, sensory, social and academic performance.
We currently offer regular FREE 60-minute introductory webinars to our clients to explain simply how the brain and Primitive Reflexes play a part in the Pyramid of Learning.
Register for our next webinar on Sunday, 27th July.
A Whole Body Approach to Changing the Brain
Based on years of scientific research from Dr Robert Melillo, it has dramatically improved the quality of life for many children and their families.
It did for my own son and that's why I want to help bring these techniques from the US to families in Europe that are struggling.
Listen to Lara's story here.
The Pyramid of Learning
The Learning Pyramid idea was first mentioned by Edgar Dale, an expert in audio-visual education, in his 1946 book ‘Audio-Visual Methods in Teaching’ where he named the different modes of imparting information as the ‘Cone of Experience’, using a cone as the visual representation.
We concentrate on helping develop the first two primary learnings of this pyramid:
-
NEURO RELEXES
-
SENSORY SYSTEMS
The Definitions for The Pyramid of Learning
Understand the different hierarchies of the Pyramid of learning and what they mean.
NEURO REFLEXES
Neuro
Moro
ATNR
STNR
Hand
Foot
Mouth
Touch
Neuro reflexes, also known as neurological reflexes or simply reflexes, are automatic, involuntary responses to a stimulus that bypass the brain for immediate action. They are mediated by the reflex arc, a neural pathway involving sensory and motor neurons, and are essential for maintaining body posture, protecting the body from harm, and coordinating movement
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Oral Language
Body language
Words
Memory
Communication skills are the ability for an individuals to accurately convey a messages to another person or group of people.
SENSORY SYSTEMS
Auditory
Smell
Taste
Visual
Touch
Balance
Sensory systems are the mechanisms by which humans (and other animals) perceive and respond to their environment and internal state. They consist of sensory receptors that detect stimuli, neural pathways that transmit information to the brain, and brain regions responsible for sensory processing and perception.
LIFE MANAGMENT
SOCIALISATION
Play Skills
Social Skills
Behavior
Emotional
Neuro reflexes, also known as neurological reflexes or simply reflexes, are automatic, involuntary responses to a stimulus that bypass the brain for immediate action. They are mediated by the reflex arc, a neural pathway involving sensory and motor neurons, and are essential for maintaining body posture, protecting the body from harm, and coordinating movement
MOTOR SKILLS
Postural Stability Early Mile Stones
Ocular Control
Motor skills are the body's ability to use muscles to perform specific tasks. These skills involve the coordination of the brain, nervous system, and muscles to execute movements. Motor skills are broadly categorized into gross and fine motor skills, with gross motor skills involving larger muscle movements like crawling, walking, and jumping, while fine motor skills involve smaller, more precise movements like picking up small objects or writing.
ATTENTION & FOCUS
Impulsivity
Focus
Organization
Self Regulation
Attention and self-regulation are foundational skills that support higher-level cognitive functions and academic learning.
Impulsivity, focus, organisation, and self-regulation are all related to attention and regulation, with the latter acting as a crucial skill for managing emotions and behaviors necessary for learning.
SENSORY PROCESSING SKILLS PPERCEPTUAL MOTOR SKILLS
Eye-hand Coordination
Speech Development Sequencing
Visual
Auditory
Sensory-motor skills are integrally related to learning, behavior, and achievement in children and adolescents.
Perceptual-motor skills, on the other hand, refer to the ability to perceive and interpret environmental cues in order to guide motor actions.
EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
Reading
Comprehension
Maths
Executive functions are the higher-order cognitive skills that involve behavior regulation and goal directed activities.
Academic performance refers to the extent to which a student has achieved their educational goals, often measured by continuous assessment or cumulative grade point average.
Brain Development is here to help those with:
Autism Spectrum Disorder
ADHD
Dysgraphia
Processing Disorders
Sensory Processing Disorders
Aspergers
Dyslexia
Dyspraxia
Developmental Delay
Poor Social Skills
What People Say
I have been working with Lara for 4 months now. She was eagerly looking forward to help my son with huge knowledge of her profession. My son is 5 and half years old he was having lots of difficulties . I have worked with occupational therapist but they didn’t draw my attention towards reflexes but Lara told me how reflexes affect development of a child.
I started working on my son with her guidance. And in couple of months I can see good results, we still have a way to go but amazingly and patiently Lara is helping me and she is always my side .I am focusing on primitive reflexes she has taught me and we are focusing on each one. We are using the sensory system, the magical Rezzimax device is brilliant in helping my son with his sensory processing and feeling his body.
After Lara's guidance I can see my son’s fine motor skills and his speech have improved .
I’m feeling very grateful and confident that she came in my life and showed me the correct way to help my son.
