Have you been hearing the term "Primitive Reflexes" pop up in IEPs or in the OT room? What about Reflex Integration? To be honest, I remember learning a little about some of the common infant reflexes were in college, but it was only a quick overview. We definitely did not cover what we could do when a child presented with retained primitive reflexes.

In this episode of the OT School House Podcast, Jayson interviews Sonia Story. Sonia is the creator of the Brain And Sensory Foundations Course at MovePlayThrive.com

Sonia is absolutely passionate about the use of rhythmic movements to help students who may be not fully accessing their activities of daily living. She originally got started in this field while trying to help her own children several years ago and has not stopped learning how to better serve the families she now works with. 

Listen in to this episode if you are interested in getting a taste of what reflex integration is and what it could potentially look like in a school setting!
