Transforming Learning Challenges with Primitive Reflex Integration and Rhythmic

Therapists, teachers, and parents find that integrating the primitive reflexes can reduce or eliminate many aspects of learning challenges—including hyperactivity, attention deficits, reading difficulties, fine motor issues, and anxiety—allowing students to focus and learn with greater ease.

All case studies are written by students of the Brain and Sensory Foundations First Level course.
