Remove Blocks to Achievement and Boost Primitive Reflex Integration
Have you ever wanted to do something but felt blocked in starting it, or unable to follow it through to the end? Accomplishing meaningful goals is easy for some, but much more intimidating for others.

Would you agree that—despite decades of research into symptoms and causes—ADHD is still widespread in both children and adults? Are you interested in lasting solutions for the sensory issues, anxiety, learning, and behavioral challenges that commonly accompany ADHD?
Reclaiming Mobility and Function with the Power of Neurodevelopmental Movements
Often we forget what our teachers have taught us. But sometimes a meaningful lesson sticks and we remember it forever. Many years ago, I received two valuable teachings regarding brain injury and Parkinson's disease that I have always remembered.
How Primitive Reflex Integration Improves Sensory Processing
Primitive reflexes and sensory processing are intertwined in our neurology and development. Because these systems affect each other, reflex integration can be used to achieve positive outcomes for many sensory-based conditions.
Building Better Learning from the Ground Up
Have you noticed that learning challenges in children seem to be more common, more pervasive, and more difficult to address than ever before? There are underlying reasons we explore in this article—along with simple, effective methods for reversing learning challenges.
Why Rhythmic Movements Are Essential for Child Development, Learning, and Brain Maturity
See research and case study evidence showing how innate rhythmic movements can help children with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, learning delays, and other neurodevelopmental challenges.
How Neurodevelopmental Movements Can Improve Mental Health Outcomes
Learn how primitive reflex integration and developing the sensory systems can greatly improve regulation, focus, and mental health.
Dr. Blomberg’s #1 Recommendation For Tantrums, Meltdowns, and Troublesome Transitions
What is at the root of emotional and behavior disturbances? How can we prevent meltdowns and address challenging transitions?
