Primitive Reflexes are foundational for the growth of the brain.

"Babies are supposed to outgrow their primitive reflexes by the end of the first year. However, in some children they linger longer... this can throw off the timing for (brain) development & is an early symptom of problems to come." - Dr Robert Melillo.

This mini course is a self-guided course through which I teach parents exactly how to assess their child for retained primitive reflexes and an underdeveloped sensory system.

This allows you to identify any gaps that exist in your child's brain development and the root cause of any delay.

Once you understand what is happening in your child’s brain, you can learn best how to support them at home.

Do you suspect that there is a 'gap' in your child's development or that they just aren't functioning at their full potential?

Do you worry that your child was delayed in meeting their milestones? Or that they are under-achieving in school? Perhaps they struggle with social relationships or emotional regulation?

You are not alone!

Join me in this mini course where I will cover the following:

  • Brain Development
    The order & timing of neurological development & how this impacts the behaviors, skills & cognitive ability of your child.

  • Primitive Reflexes
    What Primitive Reflexes are & how they correlate to your child’s development, learning & wellbeing.

  • Testing
    How to assess for each primitive reflex accurately, exploring the purpose behind each reflex & associated symptoms of retention.

  • The Sensory System
    You will explore the senses & understand how the sensory system interacts with primitive reflexes, the purpose of the sensory system & how your child integrates it.

  • Dominance Evaluation
    Here’s the thing. It’s incredibly inefficient for the brain if you are ambidextrous or have mixed laterality. So I’ve also included a dominance assessment to provide a clear picture of your child’s dominance profile.

Wondering if this is the right course for you?

The parents I work with often report that there is something missing in their child’s progress.

It’s like something just isn’t ‘clicking’ for them. This might present as bedwetting, inability to ride a bike or cross monkey bars, difficulty reading across a page easily, fear avoidance or social disorders. You might notice that they are clumsy, awkward with motor skills or their symptoms illustrate a more obvious disconnection as in developmental delays, sensory processing disorders, or learning or behaviour struggles.

The list really does go on and on.

Primitive reflexes are foundational for the growth of the brain and many issues or disconnections may exist depending on the severity, timing and cause of the retained reflex(es).  The purpose of this course is to guide you through testing the foundation of the brain and identify the “missing link” for your child.  

All families who purchase this Primitive Reflex Testing mini course, will have the opportunity to contact me to discuss their child’s unique case, presentation, current health status & future steps should they wish to do so.  

Completing this course will also give you discounted access to the full Brain Reconnections Program.  

I look forward to working with you & your child.
