From Meltdown to Manageable: How Primitive Reflexes Affect Sensory Integration

This course, presented by Primitive Reflex Integration Plus, LLC, explores the intricate connection between primitive reflexes and sensory integration. It is specifically designed for chiropractors who work with individuals experiencing sensory challenges, offering valuable insights and practical strategies. Participants will learn to identify, understand, and effectively address retained primitive reflexes that significantly impact sensory processing and regulation, ultimately helping patients achieve better sensory integration and overall well-being.

• •Identify and assess the primary primitive reflexes (ATNR, STNR, Moro, palmar grasp) and their relationship to sensory processing dysfunction
• •Understand the neurophysiological mechanisms by which retained primitive reflexes contribute to sensory integration challenges, including proprioceptive and vestibular dysfunction
• •Recognize clinical presentations of retained primitive reflexes in patients with sensory sensitivities, coordination difficulties, and behavioral regulation issues
• •Apply practical screening and assessment techniques to evaluate primitive reflex retention in a chiropractic clinical setting
• •Implement evidence-informed integration strategies and exercises that address retained reflexes to improve sensory processing and patient outcomes
• •Develop patient-centered treatment plans that incorporate primitive reflex integration into existing chiropractic care protocols
