Rhythmic Movement Symposium: RMT & Diet in Autism

This two-day event (July 18th & 19th) is part of a symposium presented by Swedish psychiatrist Dr. Harald Blomberg, who developed and has been using Rhythmic Movement Training (RMT) for more than 20 years. The format of these sessions will be a combination of lecture and experiential learning


Topics discussed by Dr. Blomberg will include: Autism, the Alimentary Canal and the Brain; Dietary Treatment in Autism; Rhythmic Movement Training in Autism; and integration of specific primitive reflexes. Primitive reflexes are spontaneous fetal and infant movements controlled by the brainstem; these movements serve an important developmental purpose, but if they remain active, can cause difficulties in learning and functioning.


The RMT symposium is sponsored by LoveLight, Inc., a local nonprofit, in cooperation with The Gerald H. Read Center for International and Intercultural Education at Kent State University. For more information, please contact LoveLight's executive director at lkjusti1@kent.edu or (3300 673-5839. Thank you.
