About

The Waldon Association

was set up as a voluntary organisation to promote Dr Geoffrey Waldon's ideas on human development and learning, and to support people who would like to investigate them further.

Dr Waldon was a neurologist, and developed his theories over a number of years of professional practice. Through extensive observation of human behaviour and learning, particularly of young children in free play, he sought to identify the essential processes and mechanisms that shape understanding before culture comes to play its part.

After studying with Dr Waldon, Association members now work together to continue to develop our understanding of his ideas, and their educational ramifications.
