- Explanation and understanding of the movements generated by the Reflexes
- How to recognise and evaluate the Reflexes
- The effects that "unintegrated" reflexes have on posture, learning and development
- Theory and practice of Beanbag movements for integration.
- More fun with and more Beanbag Activities
- More on the effect Reflexes have on learning styles.
- Further understanding on how PPRs influence early childhood development
- The effect of the PPRs on skills such as reading, writing, concentration, maths, taking notes from the board, sitting still etc., etc.

The PPRs are the foundation for all movement and learning. Of course, songs will be sprinkled throughout the workshop.
Some of the catch phrases include:
