School Floors
By Barbara Pheloung
The much anticipated follow-on book in the Move to Learn series, School Floors, provides answers to those who are new to the field of Learning Difficulties and also serves those who want to go deeper in their understanding of how the Move to Learn program works. Written with the help of the well-known Adelaide Occupational Therapist, Veronica Steer, and including testimonies from teachers, parents and other professionals wanting to share their excitement, this book leads the way in reaching the needs of students everywhere – the minimum 20% with LD, and the rest who succeed but could do better.
Some of the questions answered include:
- “How do I get your movement program into my school?”
- “What physical things can we do after the 9 basic movements are finished?”
- “Can we really make a difference without any special training?”
- “Do autistic or Down Syndrome children benefit as much as the others?”
- “How can I help my child with food allergies/intolerance and chemical imbalance?”
- “What do I do first to help my class or my child?”
Dr. Soezin Krog, Senior Lecturer, University of South Africa (Unisa) "The program provides teachers with invaluable skills on how movement enables neurological development and with the right kind of movement, children are able to achieve learning readiness and learn better. Move to Learn also emphasises the importance of movement in the educational programme.”

Help Your Child to Learn
By Barbara Pheloung
Sometimes there are apparently unexplainable blocks to learning which prevent intelligent children from reaching their potential. The blockages can be so difficult to pinpoint that no-one is aware of the real problem. Consequently, the frustrated or withdrawn behaviour, which results is often blamed as the problem itself. This hidden handicap and where we can go for help forms the basis of this book.
This is a practical guide for parents of children who are experiencing learning difficulties:
Where and how to find help that suits your child.
Check lists that will help you identify the areas that need further investigation: body movement, speech, allergies, eyes, ears.
Mothers' stories of 9 children.
This book will either reassure you that there is no need to worry or identify the best available help.
Barbara Zaremba, Head, The Guild Centre, Sydney College of Advanced Education
"This book should be in the professional library of all teachers and students as a reference."
Ken Johnson, Principal, Cromehurst Public School, Special Education Centre, NSW
"I will be recommending this book to all teachers and parents who contact us about a learning disability. It contains valuable and reassuring information."
The book is written for those parents and teachers who wish to help their children to open new horizons through ease of academic learning. Help Your Child to Learn has sold over 22,000 copies and is in its third edition.

Help Your Class to Learn
By Barbara Pheloung
In those with learning difficulties the foundations for classroom learning have not been properly laid. Barbara Pheloung's Help Your Class to Learn brings together her practical experience in a form which teachers and busy parents will find useful and encouraging. The author also will answer all your specific questions as you read through the book.
The book provides theoretical background to support the practical work and information for accessing additional services. With the cooperation of psychologist Robyn Taylor she presents research showing the tangible results from this perceptual sensory integration.
The Hon. Dr Marlene Goldsmith
"For some children the door to learning is locked. It must be opened if they are to achieve their potential and acquire the skills necessary for our complex, high-technology society. But, because the problem has many causes, the challenge is finding the right key. From her many years of expertise and experience, Barbara Pheloung takes a holistic approach to learning difficulties, bringing together many specialist areas, and providing a number of keys. I hope there is one here for every child in need.

Overcoming Learning Difficulties
By Barbara Pheloung and Jill King
Even the intelligent child can have learning problems. Fifteen to twenty percent of school children puzzle their parents. They do not learn as well as expected, and have unexpected behaviour problems. These children are often described this way: "Should do better"; "Can't sit still"; "The class clown"; "Rebellious"; "Not trying"; "Dumb". Parents instinctively know there is a problem, but don't know how to solve it.
This book was written for keen parents and for all professionals who are needed to help the intelligent child who is not coping in the classroom. It is full of practical ideas which are effective and fun.
"This book helps classroom diagnosis of children who are failing to reach their potential and offers practical suggestions to remediate their problems."
Maxine Anderson, Infants and primary school teacher
"There is a great need for this book because parents know when their child is having problems but it is difficult to convince others. Some people thought I was neurotic when I was seeking help for Scott. Because of the help he's received he is now more confident and more competent."
Vicki Morton, Mother of a 7-year-old LD child
"This is an excellent resource book for therapists working with children with learning disorders. It is full of practical suggestions and sequences of activities, covering a wide range of areas. And it is ideal for planning both therapy and home programmes."
Mandy Ryan, Occupational therapist
Jill King, MAPA, has closely studied and practised in the field of children's learning difficulties since 1979 when one of her own children (who is now university trained) was found to have learning difficulties. Jill has worked with LD children in multidisciplinary centres and in schools. As both a paediatric physiotherapist and qualified Feldenkrais practioner, she has acquired a special insight into the LD problem.

Ten Gems for the Brain -
The Move to Learn Movement Sequences
By Barbara Pheloung
Ten Gems for the Brain - The Move to Learn Movement Sequences’ is a short booklet that explains how to do the movement sequences in simple clear language with lots of pictures.
Originally intended to replace the exercise segment of the DVD for use in areas where DVD players are just not an option, it doesn’t explain the ‘why’ of the movement program, only the ‘how to’, and is not meant to replace the DVD, or to provide a simplified version of our other publications, but rather to provide an aid or resource for targeted areas and situations.
‘Ten Gems for the Brain - The Move to Learn Movement Sequences’ is only available as an e-book in the English language at this stage, but in 2008 we hope to make it available in various Indian dialects and in Chinese through our registered regional distributors.
Cost $15.
