A neuro-typical 12 yr old male - what does 'typical' look like?

One of the greatest blessings of my career in IM is the wide variety of individuals that I have an opportunity to see. People do not need to go to the doctor, have a diagnosis, or even struggle to go through IM with me. As a result, I see many neuro-typical (NT) people, both children and adults, and of all ages.
What do I mean by neuro-typical (NT)? I mean average, typical, having no neuro-developmental delays/disorders, no diagnosis ... just solid, healthy, typically functioning people. Most of the NT individuals that I see are family members of a child I saw for developmental delays. NT students move differently than the children with neuro-developmental delays. This video of one NT student I trained shows typical movement patterns.

Working the Subconcious in IM - IM is a cerebellar exercise


What if you relied more heavily on a region of the brain responsible for conscious, effortful movement while typically developing students utilized a region of the brain important for automating motor tasks?

IM Tasks Variations for Hockey


An IM provider in Australia I believe, works with a professional hockey player. This video is a bit long, but it's interesting. I use some similar variations but relate them to visual processing and faster mental processing for academic reasons.
