Introduction

Welcome to the RITP Certification Cohort: 6-Month Roadmap

Welcome to the Reflex Integration Through Play (RITP) Certification Cohort. RITP is a treatment planning and implementation method based on developmental milestones, primary motor reflex patterns, and primal movement patterns, using a play-based approach that is fun and easy to implement.

Throughout this cohort, participants will:

1 – Complete the Five Pillar Courses 

2 – Develop and Refine a Treatment Plan

3 – Gain Hands-on Experience with Implementation. 

By the end of six months, each participant will be ready for certification, having completed at least six weeks of structured treatment planning and implementation.

To obtain your certification within 6 months, we suggest completing all course material in the first 3 months. The remaining time can then be focused on implementation and refinement.
