PRIMITIVE REFLEX OVERVIEW

• Brain development
• Brain stem
• Mid brain
• Cerebellum Cortex
  • Occipital Lobe
  • Temporal Lobe
  • Parietal Lobe
  • Frontal Lobe
• Evaluation and demonstration of Primitive reflexes
• How retained reflexes act on developmental milestones
• Reasons for primitive reflex retention or re-emergence
• How primitive reflexes interfere with higher level skills – Reading, writing, sensory processing

PRIMITIVE REFLEXES COVERED IN DETAIL

• Palmar Grasp
• Plantar Grasp
• Symmetrical Tonic Neck
• Asymmetrical Tonic Neck
• Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex
• Moro Reflex
• Extension synergy
• Flexion synergy

Hands-On Activities

• Disarming the strength of primitive reflexes
  • Palmar grasp
  • Plantar grasp
  • Asymmetrical Tonic Neck
  • Symmetrical Tonic Neck
  • Moro Reflex

Case Studies

• 17 year-old anoxic male integration of brain stem functions, cranial nerves, midbrain to regain cortical functions without over riding primitive reflex patterns
• 8 month-old with stroke at birth, cortical vision impairment, involvement of bilateral hemispheres and symmetrical tonic neck reflex. Integration of reflexes, gained vision abilities.
• 1 year-old hemisphere stroke. Asymmetrical Tonic Reflex integrated and able to walk and run.
• Genetic non-myelination and smooth brain 9 month-old female with tone abnormalities, Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex. Integration and neuroplasticity therapy techniques resulted in ability to walk with rolling walker, count to 20 English, 10 in Spanish, name the months of the year and days of the week.
