## Supporting Visual Processing Using Primitive Reflexes

Therapists and parents have seen improvements in [visual processing and visual motor skills](https://moveplaythrive.com/index.php?Itemid=655 "See how reflexes impact visual processing and ocular motor") after applying primitive reflex integration and rhythmic movements. See inspiring stories about progress in visual tracking, eye-hand coordination, visual perception and memory, nystagmus reduction, reading comprehension, letter spacing, and letter formation—including reduction or elimination of letter reversals.

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