COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This dynamic, evidence-informed course explores the clinical application of primitive reflex integration with a focus on improving function in children. Through a therapeutic lens, participants will examine how retained reflexes impact postural stability, motor coordination, emotional regulation, and participation in daily routines. The course emphasizes hands-on strategies that integrate reflex work with sensory processing insights—highlighting the ways in which movement and sensory input intersect to support regulation, attention, and skill acquisition.
Rather than addressing sensory integration as a stand-alone framework, this course weaves sensory concepts into the context of each reflex. Participants will learn to link clinical observations with developmental neuroscience, assess underlying systems, and design interventions that promote functional change. Real-life case studies, clinical reasoning tools, and reflex-specific strategies make this course highly practical and immediately applicable.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Utilize motor control, sensory integration and primitive reflex integration theories simultaneously to facilitate improvement in function and occupation-based interventions.
- 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.

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
