Child Centre Method Module 1 Primitive Reflexes (2 days) For teachers, therapists, learning support staff, parents, grandparents, and adults interested in working with children.

This is a workshop to help adults working with children reach their full potential. This workshop introduces the theory behind primitive retained reflexes and how they affect learning, emotional and behavioural issues.

Retained primitive reflexes can affect children’s learning, behaviour and emotions. They are integrated and switched off when an infant starts to have conscious control of his/her movements. They have a limited time span and are switched off or integrated through normal childhood activities. If the reflexes are retained they can lead to neuro-developmental delay and poor sensory integration e.g. they can impair balance which will cause a child difficulty in judging space, distance, depth and speed. Balance is vital for everyone, for example, when astronauts lose their sense of balance in space they start to write from right to left, reverse numbers and letters and produce mirror writing. The following reflexes are the ones that are most often retained.

Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex: affects balance, and visual tracking and often leads to reading problems
Tonic Neck-Righting Reflex: prevents the child from achieving good posture and balance.
Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Righting Reflex: this can lead to poor pencil grip leading to difficulty copying off the board poor recording skills as well and an aversion to writing. It is the reflex most often involved in poor academic performance.
Moro Reflex: causes children to be hypersensitive to sound, light and touch and therefore causes concentration and attention problems. It also contributes to emotional problems and involves poor and irrational behaviour.
 

ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, difficulty with reading and writing, concentration, focus and emotional problems, and behavioural problems are issues related to retained primitive reflexes.
