As a result, there is unprecedented concern over the rising levels of childhood obesity and even heart disease. Sally Goddard Blythe is Director of the Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology in Chester, which researches the effects of neurological dysfunction in children with learning difficulties and devises effective learning programmes. She researches, consults and advises schools, parents and professionals.
