9Primitive ReflexesPrimitive reflexes are the first part of the brain to develop. In typical development, reflexes naturally inhibit in sequential order during the first year, and replacement reflexes called postural reflexes emerge.
Postural reflexes are more mature patterns of response that control balance, coordination, and sensory motor development.
10What happens when primitive reflexes are retained?Can lead to developmental delays related to disorders like ADHD, sensory processing disorder, autism, and learning disabilities.
Persistence of primitive reflexes contribute to issues such as
- Coordination and Balance
- Sensory Perceptions
- Fine Motor Skills,
- Sleep, and Immunity
- Energy Levels, & Impulse Control
- Difficulty Concentrating
- All Levels of Social, Emotional, and Intellectual Learning.
