  • If you’ve been using the Reflex Integration Through Play book series, we’ll show you how your child can make more progress.

What are Primitive Reflexes?

Reflexes are normal, involuntary movement patterns that promote motor learning and sensory integration. Most reflexes become integrated into a pattern of movement after infancy. However, sometimes, reflexes do not become easily integrated and interfere with a ‘child’s ability to develop an appropriate foundation for stability and mobility. A child may learn faulty and adaptive movement patterns that interfere with foundations to be successful.

Retained reflexes contribute to motor delays, sensory processing issues, behavioral problems, poor visual processing skills, poor auditory processing skills, hyperactivity, poor attention, health issues, or learning difficulties.

How Do I Integrate Retained Reflexes at Home?

Take your child through the foundational movements their brain needs to integrate their retained reflexes, resulting in healthy, well-adapted movement patterns.

This course will teach you to implement practical exercises to improve your child’s development in as little as 5-10 minutes a day.
