Developmental Practitioners’ Association & EASIE
The UK’s Developmental Practitioners’ Association (DPA) have unveiled its latest tool, the EASIE Programme. Designed for nursery and early year children, EASIE is the earliest school-based programme developed to promote learning readiness and prevent learning difficulty before it begins. The DPA is an association of independent practitioners who offer treatment to adults and children for a wide range of learning difficulties. The DPA has existed since 1995, promoting neuro-developmental and associated therapies/professions.
The EASIE Programme is designed for all children aged between three and seven. It helps develop balance and co-ordination, memory, concentration and organisation and prepares a child for learning. It was piloted in a Swansea, UK, school. Designed for use in the classroom or at home, the exercises, songs and music featured in the EASIE Programme can be interleaved with other learning activities. The Programme provides the instructor with clear aims, objectives and lesson plans that conform to National Curriculum requirements.

Would you be able to provide details of the EASIE movement programme, e.g. is there a book or training available?
Many thanks

Hello,
I’m an Early Years Advisory Teacher in Nottingham and would like to know if there is any EASIE movement programme training available in the area in the near future as one of my settings has expressed an interest in the programme.
