If there is a main specialty that is part of the basic NOT protocol, it is addressing of children and adults with learning disabilities/difficulties. A host of learning disabilities/difficulties can fall under the umbrella of:
| • Specific learning difficulties | • Pervasive developmental disorder |
| • Dyslexia | • Cerebral palsy |
| • ADD | • Down's syndrome |
| • ADHD | • Suppression of left brain activity |
| • Traumatic brain injury | • Autism |
Think of it this way… compare a child or adults brain to that of the receiver and processor of a television. Lets assume that the signal (information coming in) is of good quality, the results of the television picture will be clear and of good quality providing the signal is properly received and processed. The problem occurs when the signal is not properly and optimally received and processed, that results in a fuzzy picture. NOT will give the practitioner the protocol and procedure to fine-tune the picture on the television so that the signal cannot only be received, but processed at an optimal level. NOT creates the proper physical environment that exists between the brain, the skull, and surrounding musculature so the child/adult can receive the incoming signal from the environment. Here’s how…when addressing learning disabilities/difficulties, NOT basis its approach on the concept that the bones of the skull are misaligned as well as restricted in their normal respiratory motion.
Some factors that produce learning disabilities are as follows:
| • Physical trauma (blow to the head, birth process, sports injury etc). This could be categorized as a cranial injury |
| • Chemical trauma (allergies to food, substances, inhalants, drugs utilized during childbirth, vaccines, etc.) |
| • Heredity factors |
| • Emotional factors (death, divorce, etc.) |
NOT's theory looks like this. The bones of the skull and body carry electromagnetic lines of force. Contrary to some beliefs, cranial bones do move, They move ever so slightly in a collective, rhythmic and synchronous pattern each time you breathe. There is also an internal bony respiratory mechanism that pumps the cerebrospinal fluid up and down the spinal cord as well as bathing the three outer layers of the brain. If these skull bones are misaligned or tilted, parts of the brain are subject to unequal pressure with every respiration. Bear in mind that the average person, resting, breathes in and out about 720 times per hour. Thus, the vast majority of learning disabilities are caused by resulting physical manifestations, largely the abnormal movement of cranial bones during normal respiration.
