This short course will discuss the Palmar grasp reflex. Motor skills may be influenced by retained primitive reflexes. Have you found yourself repeating the same tasks and seem to get nowhere in particular? Do you continue the same goals year to year? Then this program is for you! Integration techniques assist in achieving successful fluid movement and voluntary control of gross and fine motor skills. This program will assist you in identifying the high and low tone of the palmar grasp and how to gain increased attention to task and improve goal attainment.
