These neurones activate the parts of the brain that support movement, communication, and emotional control through integrated learning.    Some special needs children's mirror neurones are not fully functional, making it more challenging to gain the skills at their anticipated milestones. When vestibular system problems are present, the mind interacts and comprehends the world using distinct mental processes.    By increasing the link between the critical parts of the brain, the Tomatis® Method addresses these problems.
