Today we will be exploring the intricate dance between eye movement patterns and brain function.

We discuss the "Triangle of Development" with its cornerstones: the eyes, ears, and vestibular system, and how pivotal they are from the earliest stages of life. The development of the eyes, including the muscles and neurological connections, is crucial from birth and deeply intertwined with the coordination of the ears to help us navigate and understand the world around us.

The 'Triangle of Development' is a concept that I've introduced with my patients based on my extensive practice and even contributing to the creation of a piece of medical equipment.

This triangle consists of the eyes, the ears, and the vestibular system—three essential components that connect to create a foundation for our neurological and sensory development. Understanding these connections can really help us understand the causes behind attention issues, anxiety, developmental delays, and language struggles.

We know that the special senses, including sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch, are the electrical information to the brain. With the vestibular system joining in before these senses, they all play a crucial part in how we perceive and interact with the world.

Excitingly, we'll introduce our new "Jump Start Test" and the "Fantastic Seven" exercises designed to address primitive reflexes and core stability. This program is a leap towards transforming our understanding of neurology and behavior.
