Swedish psychiatrist Dr. Harald Blomberg will be giving a talk on his work with Rhythmic Movement Training (RMT), which mimics the spontaneous movement patterns of infants. These movement patterns serve an important developmental purpose, but if they remain active, can interfere with learning and functioning. In children and adults, RMT has been found to help improve motor function, attention and focus, reading, writing, speech, emotional development, and behaviors commonly associated with ADHD and autism. The talk will be followed by a reception for Dr. Blomberg. Persons who are planning to attend are asked to contact Lisbeth Justice at lkjusti1@kent.edu or (330) 673-5839.
This event marks the beginning of an RMT symposium presented by Dr. Harald Blomberg; the symposium is sponsored by the local nonprofit, LoveLight, Inc. in cooperation with The Gerald H. Read Center for International and Intercultural Education at Kent State University. All sessions will be held in the Read Room in White Hall, the Education Building.
