Research and Evidence
Here we explore peer-reviewed research and clinical evidence showing the connection between retained (unintegrated) primitive reflexes and dysfunction. A growing body of research and clinical observation show that reflex integration and innate rhythmic movements are effective for addressing many neurodevelopmental challenges.
Research Shows Most Children Have Retained Primitive Reflexes That Are Linked to Persistent Challenges
Recent research revealed that a large majority of children—86 to 100 percent—exhibited retained primitive reflexes and associated motor deficits. For kids who struggle with motor deficits in early life, research also shows we cannot assume they will “grow out” of these challenges without intervention.
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.
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.
