## Primitive Reflex Integration and Rhythmic Movements for Cerebral Palsy

We have seen great gains associated with using the innate rhythmic movements and primitive reflex integration for individuals with [cerebral palsy](https://moveplaythrive.com/index.php?Itemid=638 "Using primitive reflex integration to help individuals with cerebral palsy"). While we do not know until we try the neurodevelopmental movements how much progress we may make for any given individual or condition, the success stories below show notable improvements in motor skills, balance, attention to task, and gait.

*All case studies are written by students of the [Brain and Sensory Foundations First Level course](https://moveplaythrive.com/index.php?Itemid=362 "Training in rhythmic movements and primitive reflex integration").*
