Rhythm and Movement for Self Regulation
RAMSR is a program for young children that aims to support their attentional and emotional regulation skills, as well as mental flexibility, inhibition, and working memory.
It is based on a number of neurological areas of research – including music therapy, the cognitive benefits of music education, and self-regulation development.
Our Vision
For all early childhood practitioners and parents internationally to...
have the confidence, skills & resources to use evidence-based rhythm and movement activities for self-regulation support for children.
In particular for those children who do not gain access to specialist music programs and associated benefits, and for those children whose life circumstances mean they are most at risk of poor self-regulation, learning, & wellbeing outcomes.
The program was first designed and piloted in 2016
Created by Professor Kate Williams (Queensland University of Technology) and her Neurologic Music Therapy and early childhood education colleagues – Rebecca Eager, Dr Sally Savage and Cathy Nielson.
RAMSR is a series of rhythmic movement activities that encourage beat synchronisation and challenges one or more of the executive functions in a fun and engaging way.
RAMSR is available in both online and in-person format training.
