COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Primitive reflex integration is a term being used in a variety of fields resulting in various approaches to treatment. This course provides therapists with a functional approach to evaluating and treating primitive reflexes. It focuses on understanding the neuroanatomy of primitive reflexes, supporting research, and the importance of analyzing posture, biomechanics, and qualitative movement patterns. Therapists learn how to effectively evaluate primitive reflexes and utilize a functional and play-based approach to primitive reflex integration. It provides a deeper understanding of the way in which various primitive reflexes support each other and mature in relationship to one another. Videos are presented throughout the course to support the integration of the material. This approach to primitive reflexes strengthens the clinician’s ability to create a play-based and functional treatment approach to achieve functional skills faster.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Define the three levels of motor control in the central nervous system and how those levels impact occupation-based intervention
- Correlate the findings from a research study to the evaluation and treatment of retained primitive reflexes
- Determine how the structural development and alignment of the pelvis and trunk can impact a functional activity
- Choose an appropriate primitive reflex integration assessment to address a functional impairment
- Select a functional and individualized goal based on a primitive reflex integration assessment
- Update a treatment plan to address retained primitive reflexes that utilizes effective strategies to strengthen your client’s skills during functional activities
AUDIENCE:
This course is relevant for Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Occupational Therapists, and Occupational Therapy Assistants.
Janine Wiskind MS, OTR/L, engages her audience with her dynamic teaching style and makes intense information easy to understand and apply. For more than 20 years, she has worked as a pediatric occupational therapist. Beginning her career in brain injury, then moving into the school systems, she now operates her own pediatric clinic. Janine has always been fascinated with the “why” behind children’s behavior and the families that we treat. It is this curiosity and passion that inspires Janine to learn continuously herself: she continues to take classes and reads a plethora of books. She strives to share this knowledge through her classes and give therapists the tools, creativity, and curiosity to keep growing and becoming their best therapeutic selves for their clients. Janine has also ventured into parent coaching with an online platform to support the many parents who can benefit from understanding their children through the OT lens.
This is THE course to take if you are looking to review primitive reflexes and how to assess if they are retained or integrated. You also learn assessment techniques and activities to work on with the students helping to progress integration of reflexes that may be inhibiting functioning. -Wendy P., PT
I loved the information on body mapping, the importance of sensory awareness, keeping function at the core of decision making, and how the reflexes impact so many activities that the individuals I work with have difficulty with. I'm so excited to continue learning! -John T., OTR
I feel more confident in evaluating reflexes and integrating the information gained into therapy sessions. -Andrea G., OT
This was an excellent course for anyone looking to expand their level of knowledge of Primitive Reflexes. I can't recommend it enough! I learned a lot of things I can use in practice and it was worth every minute of my time! -Karen C., OT
