Primitive reflex integration uses a variety of techniques to assist in promoting mature developmental responses to fade the reflexive reactions and build voluntary motor control.
Many of these techniques mimic typical developmental motor patterns and sequences that babies engage in, giving a child a “second chance” to engage and mature through the developmental stages they may not have mastered.
In today’s age of technology, where babies spend more time being propped up with screens than engaging in tummy-time practicing developmental motor patterns, there is a greater need for primitive reflex integration training ensuring that professionals can recognize the signs of retained primitive reflexes contributing to motor and developmental delay. With Theramoves courses, you gain primitive reflex integration certification and CEUs as you boost your career with invaluable knowledge and expertise.

What is reflex integration?
Reflex Integration improves the neurological foundations of sensory-motor development using developmental tools in a personalized program to refine the body’s reflexes and enable it to function well.
To better understand reflex integration, consider the following. A baby enters the world helpless, fully dependent on others for survival. However, infants are given a series of tools through which they can learn to protect themselves, ensure their basic needs are met, and begin to navigate the world around them: primitive reflexes.
These reflexive motor patterns consist of involuntary responses that should remain present for short periods of time to assist in development. The rooting reflex enables a baby to turn toward its food source. The Moro reflex is designed as a basic protective response. The asymmetric tonic neck reflex sets the stage for eye/hand coordination. After several months, these primitive patterns should fade to the background – or become “integrated” – making way for voluntary motor control.
While these primitive reflexes, as assessed in occupational therapy, are essential for survival in the early stages of life, if they persist or remain “unintegrated,” they can affect a child’s ability to develop higher-level developmental and motor skills.
The courses are suitable for:
- Occupational Therapists and Occupational Therapist Assistants
- Physical Therapists
- Speech Therapists
- Special Education Providers
- Parents/Caregivers
