Oral-Motor Seeking & Biting

Oral-Motor Seeking & Biting

Addressing Biting, Compulsive Chewing, and Mouthing with Primitive Reflex Integration

When the brain and sensory-motor systems are underdeveloped due to retained primitive reflexes, oral compulsions or poor oral-motor function may follow. See inspiring case studies showing how neurodevelopmental movements from the Brain and Sensory Foundations training have been successfully used to mature the nervous and sensory systems—resolving issues like biting, compulsive chewing, oral seeking, and excessive drooling.
