We are answering questions that we’ve received inside our primitive reflex digital course, Assessment And Integration Of Primitive Reflexes For Improved Independence In Daily Activities.
One of our favorite things about our digital course is that you can ask questions inside the course, start discussions, and get feedback!
In today’s episode, we talk about how to base a treatment plan and goals around retained primitive reflexes, how to test for reflexes when the child struggles with following instructions, the difference between ADHD and retained primitive reflexes, how to prioritize the reflexes during integration, and more!
Tune in for the full conversation!

We received a message in IG asking about Brain Balance and how their company claims to “cure” ADHD.
We thought this was interesting, so we wanted to talk about it!
There are many things that we don’t say we’re “curing” because it’s not something like a cold, or a broken bone.
Often the challenges or diagnoses we work with are biological or neurological and lifelong. There aren’t ‘cures.'
When a person or company tells a parent they’re going to ‘cure’ certain things, that should cause skepticism, especially in our line of work!
As occupational therapy assistants, our goal is to help our clients live their life as fully and as independently as possible. We provide modifications or adaptations to their current lifestyle and work on underlying skills to help improve their daily functioning.
