The INPP Developmental Questionnaire
  The following developmental questionnaire is copyright of INPP, Chester. It has proven to be a useful tool in identifying those children who are well indicated to benefit from a home programme of developmental movements -- that is, children suffering from a cluster of immature primitive reflexes.

  Seven or more "yes" answers is strongly indicative of a cluster of immature primitive reflexes.

  1. Is there any history of learning difficulties in either parent or their families?
