Primitive reflexes are automatic movements babies are born with to help them survive and develop in their early months.
Primitive reflexes are meant to naturally integrate (or fade) as a child grows, allowing for higher-level motor skills, emotional regulation, and cognitive function.
But sometimes, primitive reflexes don’t integrate properly. Retained reflexes can result from physical, emotional, or environmental disruptions during infancy.
Sensory sensitivities (overwhelm with sound, light, or touch)
Attention struggles (difficulty focusing, ADHD-like symptoms)
Emotional dysregulation (frequent meltdowns or mood swings)
Poor coordination and balance
Learning delays or challenges
This course provides a step-by-step approach to understanding, identifying, and addressing retained primitive reflexes. You'll learn how to test for reflex integration, recognize symptoms of retention, and implement targeted strategies to help your child (or those you work with) adapt more successfully to the world around them.
Through clear lessons and practical tools, you’ll explore:
The purpose and importance of each primitive reflex
Common challenges caused by unintegrated reflexes
Tips for reflex testing and child participation
Simple exercises and tools to support integration
Whether you're a parent, educator, or healthcare provider, this course equips you with everything you need to help children overcome sensory, behavioral, and learning challenges at the root cause.
This course is ideal for:
Parents and caregivers seeking answers for sensory, behavioral, or learning challenges
Educators looking to better support students with attention and coordination struggles
Healthcare professionals who want to add reflex testing and integration tools to their practice
