Primitive Reflex Integration

Rooting Reflex

Begins: 24-28 weeks in the womb. Inhibits: 3-4 months of life.

Moro Reflex

Begins: 9 weeks in the womb. Inhibits: 2-4 months of life.

Palmar Reflex

Begins: 11 weeks in the womb. Inhibited: 2-3 months of life.

Primitive reflexes (PR) are the foundation to how we as baby humans are wired. PR have a timeline. Once integrated, higher brain functions take over. If PR are retained, a battle exists between the lower and higher brain. This battle may be related to the struggles your child is experiencing.
This is a home program designed to integrate PR. Following a consultation, Dr. Hanson will teach the parent the therapeutic protocols to integrate the necessary reflexes.

Primitive Reflexes

The integration of primitive reflexes is essential for the development of more complex motor skills, cognitive functions, and emotional regulation. Over the 28 years of Dr.Hanson's experience she finds that there are 3 main reflexes. Although there are 26 known reflexes, children show the 3 most common reflexes that pertain to their delayed development.
